1/32 by H David Head
If you ever visited Louisiana and especially New Orleans, you most likely experienced a culture and character vibrantly unique to this part of America, and deeply and inextricably rooted to its ethnicity. The author’s recent acquisition of a family Bible opened a window into this fascinating world while at the same time posing more questions than there were apparent answers. This presentation shares this Bible’s story, the mysteries it contains, and the evolving answers within the shifting mores of a blended culture.
The author is H. David Head who lives with his wife in Signal Mountain, Tennessee. His interest in genealogy was sparked by his inheritance of a family Bible and by related dusty letters, clippings, photographs, and written stories saved by generations and passed on without comment to his mother who dutifully and fortuitously kept them. His father also compiled a family tree with some sources related to his ancestry. His interest was facilitated, as is often the case, by time and motivation occasioned by retirement. David’s career was as an adult and pediatric cardiac and thoracic surgeon, and as an officer in the U.S. Army Medical Corps from which he retired with the rank of Colonel.
