Hi Don, Well my goodness what a surprize. :-) However it makes sense looking at the time frame. I am attempting to find the parents of Michel MORVANT, b. bef 1765 in the Quachita District of La. and his wife, Catherine ROME, b. bef 1794. He must have been a riverman or trapper. The Romes at that time were found on the German Coast of the Mississippi River which explains their meeting. Anyway, if anyone has anything they care to share ... Thanks all Andy Scott
