Everybody in Louisiana descended from anyone named Falgout or Falgoust (two brothers in the first born generation dropped the s, two or three kept it) is descended from one French doctor who came to Louisiana around Destrehan in the early 1700s.

From what I understand, the surname basically does not even exist anywhere else anymore.

Hey cuz.
