Well, I seemed have run into a dead end and I just hope that you can point me in the right direction. I'm looking for the parents of Oscar Landry of Louisiana. (I've also seen him referred to as Jean Baptiste Oscar Landry, but I don't know if that is correct.) He was born circa 1833, and married Louisa Daigle circa 1860. He and his family are shown on the 1870 Census of West Baton Rouge Parish, LA. Any information on the ancestors of this Oscar Landry would be most appreciated.
