Association de la Famille Daigle was originally created for the purpose of organizing the 1999 Louisiana Reunion and furthering interest in Daigle/Daigre genealogy.  The 1999 and 2004 reunions are behind us now, but we plan to keep growing toward the next Reunion of 2009 in New Brunswick.

 French Immersion Donations

    Thanks to a profitable reunion, the Association de la Famille Daigle has made a $500 donation to the French Immersion Program at Paul Breaux Middle School in Lafayette, LA. Jeanne Solis-Daigle chaired this event and made the presentations.  Her daughter, Erin, is a student in the program.  Click here for  photos.

    The association also  made $300 donations to the French Immersion programs of Pierre Part Primary , Pierre Part Middle and Assumption High in 2004 & 2005.  Click here for  photos of these presentations.

NOTABLE DAIGLES 
     If you know any person, past or present, with the Daigle name that has made contributions of this caliber, please send a short biographical sketch to Lloyd Daigle. We will add them to the current list and run a short article on them in the newsletter.
