Wow, this is all very interesting! Thank You! There is a lot in here I did not know! I did not know Margeret had other children besides Monica. They must of died at a very young age. I also did not know that John remarried after Valerie. I wonder if him & the second wife had children? -K --- On Thu, 8/12/10, Liz Hall Morgan <hallroots@sbcglobal.net> wrote: From: Liz Hall Morgan <hallroots@sbcglobal.net> Subject: Re: [ACADIAN] Bourg Helen m Lawrence Daigle Lafourche LA To: acadian@rootsweb.com Date: Thursday, August 12, 2010, 1:04 AM Yay!
