Pat: I looked up the marriage on the Family Tree Maker Disk #234, but the marriage was not listed. I also tried the marriage index to Louisiana, FTM disk #1, but no luck there either. Lots of French in St. Louis came from Louisiana, so I thought I might find them there. While the libraries will not look up Catholic marriages in the parish records (because they are often not indexed) they will look up the surname in the two volume book they have that is an index to marriages in St. Louis. Why not call them or write to them and ask? I don't have the Catholic marriages book. Sorry. Maybe you can get the parish records from LDS.
