Subject: Family Tree Info
OK Let's try to get this started here, my grandparents are Bud Galliano and Clementine
Galliano. My father is Donald Galliano, he married my mother Margaret Henning. They
had three children Bridget, Michelle and Donald Jr. My uncles are Farrell and Ronald
Galliano. My father is a twin with Ronald Galliano. I got married to Sara Boudreaux and we
have a son Donald Galliano III. My mother's family consists of her father Roland Henning,
mother Rita Henning, brothers Chris, Charles, Robert and sisters Rita, Chierle. I would
like to know, how did the town of Galliano receive it's name. I heard it was from one of our great
uncles that rushed a bunker in World War I, is that information correct?From: Ken Hadler khadler@enc.k12.il.us

Subject: Willis - Peter - Jacob Oster
Brian - WOW!!! What a warehouse of info! Beautiful structure which keeps growing (as
long as you work on it, I know!).
I am the son of Agnes Ruth Oster, daughter of Willis Oster (1920 MO Census - Perry Co.),
son of Peter and Martha (Bollinger) Oster (1870, 1880 Mo. Census - Bollinger Co.). Peter
was born in Bavaria Germany 15-Mar-1835. My information indicates Peter's parents as
Jacob and Otillia (Breckmann) Oster, who would probably have been born before 1820.
I am searching for our Oster family information prior to Peter and Martha's marriage (1862)
and our connections with any of the other Oster clans, especially Washington County, St.
Francois County, and the St. Louis area. Lots of questions come to mind: When did Peter
come to the USA? With whom? Did he come directly to Bollinger Country, MO? Maybe
some of our "cousins" have some answers!
I can also provide you info on some of the Willis Oster family, if desired.
With sincere appreciation for you hours of labor on the Oster, etc., families, Thanks. God's
continued blessings on your labors. Ken HadlerFrom: Bob Mercil RFMERCIL@aol.com

Subject: Coulons
My name is Rosanne Coulon Clare. I've been researching the Coulons and Rigauds from
Grand Isle for many years. Your website is wonderful, and I'm glad to see that it provides
online access to the work of your friend Mr. Looper, with whom I met once about ten years
ago. In fact, his correspondence with me got me started.
Your "About Me" section made me wonder if you ever met my father, Earl Chester Coulon.
He worked for the Jefferson Parish School District at their Gretna office for many years.
(He once taught Journalism at Northwestern in Natchitoches.)
You must be busy, but I wonder if any genealogist can pass up a challenging genealogical
"mystery". My cousin Dennis R. Coulon and I have been working on a confusing family
connection that I thought you might be able to help us with, if you have time. (Since I don't
live in N. O., it is hard for me to do direct research at courthouses, etc.) You seem to have
vast and pertinent resources.
We are descended from Pierre Coulon and Therese Rigaud, through their son Victor
who married Eliza Rigaud. There has been some confusion regarding one of their children
- Celine Coulon.
Eliza Rigaud's Succession records include as her heirs the children of the deceased
Celine and Julien Lefort, Alice and J. Noel Lefort.
All of the internet records we have found show this Celine who married Lefort and had Alice
and J. Noel, as the daughter of (Charles Nicholas) Victor Coulon and Marguerite____.
This being Victor Coulon the son of Nicholas, not Victor the son of Pierre.
I have spent many years trying to find a connection between the Coulon Freres of Lafourche
(Alexander JOSEPH Nicholas and Charles Nicholas VICTOR from Paris) and my Pierre
(a native of Marseille), with no success. Which family does this Celine belong to??? Victor
and Eliza or Victor and Marguerite?
Maybe you could point us in the right direction...

Subject: Elizabeth Hickman-Abner Decker
I am at a road block. I am trying to find the parents and ancestors of Elizabeth Hickman,
born about 1812 KY (poss. TN). She married Abner Decker on July 28, 1830 Fulton
County, Ill. She died about 1847 Woodford Co., Ill. I am listing the children as they may
be clues to the grandparents names, (a common practice of naming the oldest male and
female after grandparents). 1) Reuben b-1832 2) Sarah Jane b-1835 3) Lucinda b-1836
4) Frances (female) b-1839 5) Joseph b-1844 Ill. 6) Abner b-1847 Ill. (I believe they were
all born in Woodford Co., Ill.) Abner re-married an Eliza Jane Pratt and had several more
children in Woodford and McLean Co., Ill. I did notice there was a Reuben Hickman living
in Case or Casey Co., KY in the 1830 Census. Thanks for any assistance. Bob DeckerFrom: Edward C. St. Andre EStandre@aol.com

Subject: hello fellow relative!
I am just starting to look at genealogy with my mother. I am the grand daughter of
Eva Oretha Whitmire (Wallace). My name is Sarah Lester (I am getting married, so
my new last name will be Wilkerson after August), and I live in Colorado. My mother
(Eva's daughter Sandy) managed to get ahold of a scrapbook from the old Roussin
Roundups. My Aunt Scotty (Audrey Whitmire) put it together throughout the 1960's.
All of this is new to me. We have always done genealogy for my dad's side of the family,
but not my mom's. I am fascinated by the Roussin's, and wonder when was the last
Roussin Roundup? I just happened to try to look up Tourouvre, France on the internet,
and it led me to your site! So what is your lineage to the Roussin's? Well, I would love
to hear from you, and I am so excited to look further at your website, and learn more
about this side of the family! You can email me at SarahMo10@aol.com, or
Sarah@cssymphony.org. I check both regularly, and I am happy to complete as much
of the family tree for you on the Whitmire's if you would like! Sincerely, Sarah LesterFrom: Jan Vitale retired2000@charter.net

Subject: Louisiana research
You have a fabulous web site and I am very, very impressed with your work. I also love
genealogy and was wondering if in your research you had ever seen the name "DeBenon".
My grandmother was a DeBenon who married my Grandfather, Jesse Ewing Hodges
in Houston, Harris Co., TX. Some of my work is at our web site, www.hackley.com.
My grandmother's father was Charles DeBenon and he worked in the lumber industry,
moving frequently through East TX and LA cutting timber then moving to another forest.
Allegedly, he ran away from home, Spartenburg, SC at about the age of 12 to join the circus.
He later left the circus to live with a family near Port Boliver, TX. His father was believed to
have also been Charles DeBenon and was a physician who had been born in France. I have
had little to no luck in researching this DeBenon family name. The only DeBenon's that I
know of are my cousins who are now in the Phoenix area and So. California. Now there are
also two in Houston but they only recently moved here.
Would appreciate your thoughts or comments.
Thanks,

Subject: Crawford County Marriage Records
I am very grateful that you have put Crawford County Marriage Records on that county's
web site. They are a great help in my current project to complete Keysville Cemetery records.
The few on the web site are just that--a very few, and in at least one instance are incorrect.
The marriage records are a big help in identifying wives whose headstones list only their married
surname. But I'm really contacting you to correct one of the marriage records on your list.
My grandparents were Joseph O. Leaver of Cuba who married Clara C. Laudel of Moniteau
County. Your transcription of the records show Clara C. Landel, an easy error to make, given
handwriting. Clara C. Laudel was the daughter of Moritz Laudel and Emma Loesch, born
Cole County, Missouri. Actually, Joseph and Clara were first cousins, and marriage between
them was, I think, illegal in 1884, which may be why they got their license in Crawford County
and were married in Moniteau County. Again, many thanks for your fine Crawford County records.
Almaflo
PS: On my mother's side I am descended from the Keys of Keysville. Visited that village many
times as a child, though it is now nearly gone, except the cemetery, and some of the headstones
I first recorded about thirty years ago were gone when my husband and I read the cemetery in the
90's. AFrom: Tom Hagan thagan@sky.net

Subject: Pullen
I am a descendant of Sarah Sallie Pullen, B: 1795 daughter of William Pullen. She
married, in Hancock County, GA 15 July 1813, to Charles Hagan (or Hagans) and moved
to the Birmingham, AL area after her first child, a son Edward, was born in Georgia
April 11, 1814. Edward was my Gr. grand father. There is a reasonably good genealogy,
by Hester Smith, of the Pullen family in the Birmingham Library. I think Sally and Charles
Hagan came to Alabama in a wagon train headed by a William Pullen - not her father but
maybe a great uncle. this is a guess. Although we cannot document it, I feel Edward Hagan
first married Gilly Tankersly. She died early in life in child birth with her second child. I have
a complete genealogy on the Hagan or Hagans who descended from Edward Hagan's second
marriage to Marth Bullard. Tom Hagan, Kansas City, MOFrom: AKB Akborde@aol.com

Subject: Holms
I have been exploring your web site and this may be a long shot...But I am looking for
John J Holms/Holmes. His wife's name was Jane and they had three children in
Missouri. Possibly Washington county. the children were Mary E., William Clark, and
Eliza Jane. Eliza Jane is my gg grandmother. She was born in 1844, William in
1842 and Mary in 1846. I went through the marriage records you have listed for Washington
county and the only John Holms that was listed was a minister. (MG) In the obituary
for Eliza Jane her father was mentioned as having been a minister. The reason why I
haven't been able to find John and Jane anywhere is probably because both died on the
Oregon trail in 1850. Included in the wagon train were William Paul, and an Elliott, and
of course a Fitzwater. In fact William Paul was acquainted with John Holms and
became the guardian of the three orphaned Holms children. I don't know what records
you have from Washington county, but I am wondering if you have ever run across any
records for these people. I am not asking for any research on your part. I am just really
stuck and am trying every possible lead. Thank you in advance for any help you can give
me. I really do appreciate it. Jean KelleyFrom: Denise Rogers M_Cooperson@msn.com

I am a great-granddaughter of Magdalen Merseal/Merceal and John Daly Pratt. I am
writing to let you know that the woman referred to as "Maggie" Merseal was really named
Magdelen or Magdalen. My grandmother, one of Magdelen's children, told me this.
Magdalen's children included
Robena
Delphine
Romanus
Lucille (my grandmother)
Ella
Delphine and Robena are still living, though quite old now. My grandmother was 4 years
old when Magdalen died. She told me that they could not attend the funeral because they
were too poor to buy shoes for all of them. Some man took pity on them and bought them shoes,
but by then it was too late for them to go to the funeral. My grandmother told me, "We really
missed our mother." She sounded sad, even though she was in her 70s when she told me this.
My grandmother died in 1992. Also, John Daily Pratt appeared in an issue of the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch Sunday Magazine in a piece which discussed Old Mines. I can get you the
reference, or I can see if I can get you a copy of it. I thought I would write to help you fill in some

Subject: Great Web Site
I came upon your web site through google.com searching my grandfather Matthias Oster.
He came to Philadelphia in 1911 with Margaretha (Weissgerber) Oster, and had married
the month before in Csene Hungary. No doubt, we are not related . . . but I did want to
congratulate you on a wonderful site. Someday, I hope, when and if I ever get this much info
on the family, I too will have a web site. Can you give me any clues on researching Europe!?

Subject: ROUSSIN's
Hi, my name is Betty (Roussin) Brock: I'm a descendant of Jacques Roussin born 1685.
That's where our link stops and you go one way, and me another way. I was wondering if
you would have any information that just might be helpful to me. I have some information that
I have gotten off the Net, but otherwise, nothing that I can confirm. Looking forward to hearing
from you. Sincerely, Betty BrockFrom: Jonathan Blood Smyth mail@bloodsmyth.fsnet.co.uk

Subject: antoine duhe / duet
My mother remembers Antoine Duhe / Duet, an American serviceman, being billeted
to her mother's house in England in approx. 1944. He was from Louisiana, and may have
been an alligator hunter. She wonders if he survived D-day and the following fighting and
what happened to him after the war if he survived. Thanks. Jonathan Blood SmythFrom: Brenda Ledet BreLed@msn.com

My name is Brenda Ledet and I am the grand daughter of William Houston and Celima
Lucretia Ledet. My daddy is James Thomas Ledet. I have a brother named Timothy
James Ledet. If you would like to view some more information about the Ledet's, use the
search word The Ledet. Not The Ledet's. Just in case you haven't already looked there.
Now I know who GG grandpaw Jean Baptiste's siblings were from your web site. Thank
you for putting out the information It's really wonderful. Brenda
OOPs I thought the siblings were Jean Baptiste's but I looked again. I was wrong. Anyway
you have done a wonderful job with this web site. Sincerely, Brenda LedetFrom: Sherry Davis George2sherry@aol.com

Subject: Family Tree
Your pages are absolutely brilliant, but I am sad because I cannot find anything about my
grandfather Cecil Pullen born 1872 (twin) who may have been born in South Africa or UK
and he lived in Bulawayo and died in 1928. I feel he may have been present in the uprising
against white settlers in 1896/7. I am so unhappy I cannot make the link with other Pullen
family trees. Thank you for letting me look at your pages. Yvonne
