Hi Hal, I was just going through some old postings and came across this one of yours. My first husband was Marion Kenyon Miley, passed away in 1991, and I have since remarried. I have just recently learned that his maternal great great grandparents were Alexander and Ellen Cumbee Rougeau (Rougeou). Alexander had a brother, Sivarin. Sivarin's descendants married into my maternal Dove line. I also have a Martha Lawrence b. Dec. 4, 1838 d. Mar. 16, 1887 in Kimbletown, La., who married William Sutton Miley b. 1842 in Ms. d. 1864-1865 in Ashland, Red River Par., La. Would you have any connection to the above? I will be looking forward to hearing from you. My best wishes to you and your family. Hazel At 07:37 PM 7/7/99 +0000, you wrote: >The following Rougeou folks are buried in the Mt.

The trunk of the tree grew strong and it has many, many branches. Some branches are still bare and need your information. Researching the following names: Anderson, Byrd, Dove, Goodson, Miley, Neal, Patterson, Payne, Rougeou, Shumate, Walker and Weaver I will gladly exchange genealogy information with others. My time on the computer is very limited so Please do not send me jokes, hoax warnings, chain letters, etc. Hazel LeBlanc <[email protected]> 1717 Job Ave. Zachary, LA 70791-5110 AOL Instant Messenger I D: HMLeBlanc Home page: <http://www.intersurf.com/~bleblanc/bill-haz.htm>http://www.intersurf.com/~b leblanc/bill-haz.htm
