To CajunKatie, Gary Porterfield, Frank Mitchell.... A HUGH thank you. Frank knows how desparately I've been trying to locate any possible information about my Grandfather and his family. Because of illness I'd stayed away from my computer for a couple of days and when I came on-line this morning, found the following e-mail. Oscar Sloan is one of the few names I knew of in this family but I had been unable to locate anything on him. Thank you so much for sending this to the list. Your kindness in sharing with the list and Gary and Frank's in keeping the list going, has provided me a much needed missing link. I am so grateful and excited!
