Thank you very, very much, Renee, for checking on Louise for me. I'll study your e-mail again, but it appears there were no Rigob children. In theory, I am not kin to either August Rigob or Louise. My great-great grandmother, Magdalena Schehr's brother Valentin Schehr married Anna Maria Clemence Vogts widow of Antoine Rigob with young children. Antoine & Anna Maria's only surviving son, August married Mary Millan and their only surviving son August Valentin Rigob married Louise Verloin De Gruy. I always felt there must have been some affection between August & his step-father for him to name his son August Valentin and wanted to find out if there were any heirs. Evidently, the line ended. I appreciate your helping me solve the Rigob puzzle. Let me know if I need to reimburse you for any expenses. Rosemary in Texas P.S. I had a great time at the HNOC when I was there June 2003. The old and new address plats of each block in the French Quarter are worth the search if you had family living there at any time. It really gave me a thrill to discover that several addresses listed in the NO City Directory were actually for the same location, and I was positively ecstatic when I discovered old photos of the buildings my g-g-grandfather George Bischof actually owned!
