Deb, My name is Jean Parker Cooper. I am researching a MYERS family from LA. My gf was John MYERS. He md a Josephine Sharp fro, St. Tammany Parish, LA. John's father was JOHN MYERS and his mother was AURILLA PARKER. I have copies of the marriage license. I also have a copy of an old diary that belonged to my grandfather. It talks about a place called Boge Chitto, LA. I have been to the court house in Covington, and no one can tell me anything. I know from my ggrandfather forward but nothing back If you could give me some suggestions I would appreciate it.
