Hello! Recently, I have found the parents of some ancestors I've been looking for but I want to try and get further than that if possible. And also, if there's any info of them out there anywhere.
The ancestors in question are Meregildo (name varies) Flores (b.1805/1815) and Carmelita Casas (b.1832).
Both for a time lived in New Orleans before moving to Natchitoches Parish, LA with their son, Domingo, and then back again to New Orleans where, I believe, Carmelita, must have died. They married there in 1871, although they were together for at least 11 years prior to marriage. Anyhow, after Carmelita passed, Meregildo moved back to Natchitoches to live with his son.
Meregildo's parents were José Anastacio Flores and Maria Juliana Longoria. Both were from Mier, Tampaulitas, Mexico.
But the ones I have more of an interest in at the moment are Carmelita's parents. According to my DNA, she was part Creole and I believe she was born in New Orleans.
Her parents were Francisco Casas and Orizile (maiden name unknown).
I have the marriage license for Meregildo and Carmelita here:

Based on the name, I feel like Francisco was likely also of Mexican or perhaps Spanish origin but Orizile, on the other hand - her name sounds French.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
