Recasner Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

My father is originally from New Orleans, Louisiana. We have been searching for the origin of our last name. We found out his great-great-grandfather was a merchant marine that settled in New Orleans and may have set up two households. The story that is told is he was a black African-Irish man. There is a mystery surronding the story and we are not sure. He was a Black man, where he came from we are not sure. Knowing the Irish history of Norman invaders I have always wondered if the re should be de. I have several family members (we are Creole/Cajan) with De prefixes on their surnames: DeRouren, DeRounslet, DeCasner and DeRecasner. Although i have never found this spelling their are different spelling of our last name.
