In a message dated 8/26/01 11:22:02 AM Central Daylight Time, Charlie Hoffpauir at: charlieh@wt.net is interested in the genealogy of Ralph W. Landry, whose brother (name unknown) was bn 28 Aug 1911 and death as 17 Apr 1991 in Lafayette. My response was: First I would suggest that the lafayette Newspaper be searched for his brother's obituary, which should provide the names of his survivers as well as the names of his parents, etc.. Second, if you can get the names of a relative, such as brother, uncle etc, who was born prior to 1910 (preferrably before 1900) then I suggest that you check with Father Donald J. Hebert's "Southwest Louisiana Records". These research books can be found in most if not all of the parish libraries. If anyone can help Charlie, please contact him at charlieh@wt.net (Charlie Hoffpauir) Don Landry don2717@aol.com
