where did the name plaster of paris come from
Plaster A large gypsum deposit at Montmartre in Paris led "calcined gypsum" (roasted gypsum or gypsum plaster) to be commonly known as "plaster of Paris".[19]
French people Elsewhere in the Americas, French settlement took place in the 16th to 20th centuries. They can be found in Haiti, Cuba (refugees from the Haitian Revolution) and Uruguay. The Betancourt political families who influenced Peru,[8] Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Bolivia and Panama have some French ancestry.[109]
