Hello list! I am looking for anyone who is researching the families of Mitchell, Keath and Howard in the Caddo area. My great aunt, Anna Irvine had all three last names. First marriage appears to be to a man named Howard. The 1920 Caddo Parish shows her living with her husband, Pius (Peter) Mitchell and son Walter and step son to Peter, Preston Howard. The 1930 census shows her a widow living with her son, Arthur Howard. The marriage record for her when she married Peter Mitchell lists her last name as Keath. Anna was born 1866 in Texas but moved to Shreveport when she was a child with her family. .She appears to have spent the rest of her life in Shreveport. If you have any information on any of the names I would appreciate hearing from you. Marguerite
