Surnames: MERCIER, WILTZ, ESCLAVON, DeCLOUET, MASSE, GREGOIRE, JEAN LOUIS, SHAY (CHAIX), GUIDRY, BASILE (CHIASSON), BARRAS, LeMELLE, LeBLANC, GUILLUAME, HENRY, and SIMON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kEB.2ACI/332 Message Board Post: I'm looking for a man by the name of Wilfred Barras (Barra). He was born an only child around 1916 somewhere in Southwest Louisiana, possibly St. Martin, Lafayette, Vermillion or Iberville Parish. He was probably raised most of the time in Lafayette. He is the son of Eugene Clebert Barras and Elodie "Elea" Catalon. When Clebert married Elodie Catalon 5 April 1893 in Maurice, Louisiana (Lafayette Parish), he claimed that his father was Julien Barras. The 1920 U.S. census found Wilfred at the age of 4 years old, living in Plaquemine, Iberville Parish, Louisiana with his father, mother (or stepmother). The family was living next door to Clebert's half brother Terrance Mercier and his future wife Eunice Verrett's family. The family story has it that Clebert's wife died sometime while Wilfred was very young at which time Clebert pursued and possibly married Elodie's sister or relative, Lena Catalan. Clebert died 25 Oct 1939 in a hospital in Lafayette. His death certificate stated that he was a resident of Ridge, Louisiana in Vermillion Parish. Shortly after the death of his father, family stories say that Wilfred joined the military, quite possibly the Air Force because he wanted to travel and see the world. He was not seen or heard from since the death of his father with the exception of coming home once or twice for the funeral of a favorite relative. He was supposedly close to a pair of cousins, Lazaird LaSalle and Oliver Daigre LaSalle, both are deceased, the sons of his father's half sister Marie Louise Fontenette. They were all residents of St. Martinville, LA. Descendants of Wilfred Barras have not been located thus far. The family story is that Wilfred married a blond from Grand Marais or Patouville, La., a small town not far from Jeanerette, in Iberia Parish, LA. Supposedly, they had two children. When Wilfred joined the military, the couple divorced and his wife and children returned to Grand Marais to her family. Wilfred would be about 83yrs old by now. He has not been found in the SSDI and the military won't give me any information on him so he must be still living. The only lead that I have is that Wilfred's wife's sister was married to an Hebert. The sister had 2! children. Clorita & August. Clorita married Ray Joseph. I am searching for him for family research and for my Mother, Elvena Mercier Forbes, who's getting on in age, in her mid 70's now. She has always wondered what happened to her cousin Wilfred. I would like to find him for her, so she can have at least one last talk with him. She has fond memories of him being close to her father Joseph Edgar Mercier. According to her, he understood French but did not speak it. Thanks for your consideration, Cherryl

My search is for information on Euphelia Mathieu, maybe spelled Ophelia, and possibily by the name of Marie, born in 1860. I was told by family members a long time ago that she was of Indian descent and an orphan (although orphans may have been considered to be orphans by losing only one parent) If you have information on Euphelia, please let me know. Hi Forrest, I have some information on Eva Trahan, seems that she is buried next to Mayance Mathews (Mathieu) and Clemence B Mathews. Hope this helps. I have the web address to the Abshire Cemetery-Cemetery order if you would need, otherwise here is a copy and paste portion. It's possible that we are related. Thanks, Georgia Oh one other thing I read somewhere that the Lepine name was dropped and the middle name of their father Mathieu was taken. not sure why.

I am involved as follows: Martin Juge b 1807 (great great grandfather) Francis Joseph Juge b 1848 (great grandfather) Charles Raphael Juge b 12/6/1881 (my grandfather) Marie Iris Juge b 8/7/1910 (my mother) Rene Thomas Folse b 10/12/1945 (me) I have a great deal of detail on the family of Charles Raphael Juge if anyone would like to know. Does anyone have knowledge of Martin's ancestors? I would really like to see some of the data of the descendants of Martin Juge so I can compare this to what Jeri West (who is mostly working on Decuir and Porche) gave me and add in or correct what I know. If it is possible to get a GEDCOM file it would be great to see. Rene Thomas Folse rene@maxi.net http://www.childpsychologist.com

Thanks for replying to the message. If you are the granddaughter of Charles Hilaire then you and I are third cousins. My mother, Ollie, is the daughter of Joseph Isnaga Juge, Charles' brother. So I am Isnaga's granddaughter. (Joseph Isnaga always went by the name Isnaga.) Isnaga and Charles' parents were Joseph Antoine Juge and Marie Alice Porche. Charles and Isnaga were two of their 8 children and the only two who did not move to California in the late 40s and early 50s. I have located all the families of the other siblings in California and attended a Juge family reunion there two years ago where I received some information about your family. I understand a Cristobel Juge, who would be your father's sister, lives in CA. Where are the rest of your family? I have been researching my family history for about 10 years or so and like you, find the Juge's quite an interesting group. I must tell you! that I was unaware that all these years there was a branch of our family right there in Baton Rouge. I have a list of Charles Hilaire Juge and Barbara Porche's children from a succession filed in the 19th JDC. And, of course, It lists Joseph Anthony as one of their 8 children. Do you do genealogy? Have you a lot of information. I would love to share info with you. Please email me. By the way, I live in Slidell. Pat
