How do you "tie in"? The only information I have on my relatives there is this: They are descendants of Philip LaCaze and Avery Weldon. Philip had several siblings and this is only some of them but there was Charles, Edward and Pierre. Pierre went on to marry a woman named Erin (Ren). Philip is the father of my g-grandfather, Monroe LaCaze (married Pauline Esther Bloodsworth) who's old homeplace is still right outside of Pitkin, LA and is still owned by one of his daughters. If ANY of this sounds even remotely familiar, please email me at ppaine@aol.com. Thanks in advance, Paula (Willis) Paine East Texas
