The other son was Alphonse/Alfonse. The brothers are believed to have been born in Louisiana but to have been raised in an orphanage in Huntsville, Alabama. Milton John migrated to the Northeast living first in New York, and then in Pennsylvania, where he died in 1969. Family lore has it that brother Alphonse/Alfonse stayed in the south and worked as a baker, possibly being affiliated with the Picou Bakery in New Orleans. I am in search of any and all records of Henry John/Jean Picou and his family, and any and all records of Blanche Ruth (Picou). I am the recent widow of John Harvey Picou (May 12, 1925 - June 13, 2001). He was the only child/son of Milton John Picou (the brother who lived in New York/Pennsylvania) and Esther Burrill Picou.
