You are correct about suspecting the accuracy of Wikipedia. I will find Gilbert's journal information about the hurricane at Lost Island.

Lynn I have not seen that reference before. Anything like below questions would help us find. Lost? The references I have seen as Last? What is Gilbert's full name? About what date published? Book or Article? Paul -----Original Message----- From: LYNN You are correct about suspecting the accuracy of Wikipedia. I will find Gilbert's journal information about the hurricane at Lost Island.

Paul, My great-grandfather Gilbert's last name is LaBauve. Raphel's son gave me the handwritten jounrals, and John Martin, a cousin, and I typed them out. I have copied and bound both journals and sent them to Gilbert's grandson Raphael, who lives in Los Alamos. Part of the journals are online, I have written copies of both, which I plan to bind and pass on to anyone who would like one. John Martin also sent a floppy containing the journals. Terri , another cousin, suggested sending a copy to the LSU Archives. John Martin had a couple of places, but I'm a little short of time. I will check my copy and get back to you. Of course I'll be happy to share any of this material. Thanks, Lynn On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 9:06 AM, <pleblan@aim.com> wrote: > > Lynn > > I have not seen that reference before.
