Reply to the Address Below.......Not a Member >>>>>>>> From:    daniel.hill@rrc.state.tx.us (Daniel Hill) .  I am looking for relatives that may live in or around Covington/Hammond.  They would be the Hill family, a pastor that I think would be named either Frank or Edwards.  Apparently, he is a brother/stepbrother of my late father and I've been looking for some time of relative since 1984 with no results.  Feel free to drop my email address to any relative that might know of the John B. Hill, Sr. family from Bogalusa and married into the Boyington family, Edward and Annie Boyington; daughter Betty Lou Boyington (my mother).  Thanks again for your help.  Dan Hill

Anyone who might know something. Special help needed> Don I am currently searching for information about a cemetery located in Saint Francisville, Louisiana. The name of the cemetery is the Feliciana Cemetery. It was formed back in the early 1940's and seems now that all the original committee members are deceased. The problem that we have now is that there are many people that have bought plots in the cemetery but have no map to show where their plots are located.
