I was told that Congressman LeCompte was related to my family. He was my father's best man and my father & I went to visit him many a time when I was very young - four years to nine years old. Is there a genealogy for him somewhere? I am interested in his parents origins and in any children or siblings he may have had. If you have a location for any information about him would you please give me an e-mail address and/or website where I may inquire about obtaining information or a telephone number and/or a USPS address. Anyone related, knowing anyone related, or with any information please contact me on or off list. This is everything I know about him - taken from a Congressional directory.
