Louisiana Creole refers to people of any ancestry or mixture thereof who are descended from settlers in colonial French Louisiana before it became part of the United States in 1803 with the Louisiana Purchase, or to the culture and Creole cuisine typical of these people.
however, the majority are of mixed Native American, Spanish and French, and African American ancestry. There are also creoles who have a Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican and Mexican descent also. It is therefore not odd, either, to find a Louisianian that carry Spanish or French features, even some with African features, carrying the family name Romero, Hernández or Rodríguez who can find their roots in Haiti and Mexico, as well as France and Spain
