Hi Viking, You might try contacting the Augusta Genealogical Society to see if anyone there has information regarding your Emile. While I do not have the phone number handy right now, you can do a web search for the Society, and then visit their web home page to obtain contact information. I hope that this helps you. Oh, yes; there is a small community south of Augusta in Jefferson County, I believe, that is named Matthews....perhaps there is a connection? Mark, outside of Augusta
