LASTJOHN-L members, I received this query on the 4th. Looking to see if any of you have information on these surnames. Ernest A. Haydel � HAYDEL, WILLIAMS, HEBERT I am Ernest Anthony Haydel, Jr. born in New Orleans April 15, 1929. �My father, Ernest Anthony HAYDEL, Sr. was born in New Orleans in 1902 or 1903. �In 1922 he married Anna Mary HEBERT of New Orleans. �Both are deceased - she in 1970 and he in 1980. �Ernest was eighth child of Emile HAYDEL of St. John parish who married Annie WILLIAMS of Pointe A La Hatche. �I believe Emile was in or from Edgard. They moved to New Orleans where Emile and Annie had eight children: Alden, Joe, Mary, Eloise, Evelyn, Hilda, one other girl and Ernest (youngest), my father. �Emile was a motorman on streetcars for New Orleans Public Service and retired from there. �He died in the early 1940's. �Emile had a brother who remained on "The German Coast" where he died. �I do not remember meeting him. �I understand that all Louisianan HAYDELS came from Ambros who came to LA in 1721. �Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If anyone has information for Ernest, his email address is: hawonderful@usouthal.campus.mci.net Thanks!! Michelle ------------------------------

My query about Theodule Montz, as follows, has an error. >Theodule Montz married 1863 at Edgard to Sarah Whitrouth. Widow and >children were in New Orleans in 1990 per census. Looking for death of >Theodule Montz. The reference to the *1990* census really should have been the *1900* census. ___________________________________________ >>>> Genealogy is my hobby -- I collect ancestors! <<<< ------------------------------
