Hello Doris, In your message to Gene you mention the book "Bienville Parish Louisiana Marriage Records ,1849-1900. I would greatly appreciate it if you would check to see if there is any mention of a marrige of Romulus Augustus Steel (R.A.Steel) and Martha Ann Mitchell.This marriage would have occured in the late 1850's. Thank you so much. Best wishes! Harry Lee Steele 602-938-4767 3859 W. Dalphin Phoenix, Arizona 85051
