Ardoin Family History

The Ardoin line in Evangeline Parish can be traced back to Salome Babin, daughter of Benjamin Babin and Marguerite Charrier. She married John Ardoin, son of Hazel Authement and Earl Ardoin.

John and Salome lived a long, happy life in Acadia. They had two children, John Jr. and Agnes. Agnes went on to join a convent and become a nun. She perished there, along with all of the other nuns, twelve years later when the monastery burned to the ground in a mysterious fire. Both John and Salome died of old age in Acadia.

John Jr. went on to marry Estelle Picard, daughter of Mildred Robique and Donald Picard. Estelle and John Jr. both lived to old age. They had two children, Leslie and Donna.

Donna married Jason Bueche, son of June Baudoin and Terrence Bueche. Donna and Jason currently live in Acadia with their three children, Rachel, Emma, and Brandon. To follow Donna's line from here, please see the Bueche Family History page.

Leslie married Kim Babineaux, daughter of Rochelle Guillory and Randy Babineaux. Leslie and Kim currently live in St. Amant with their two teen children, Jacqueline and Eric.
