I am sorry if I asked before. Do you have a Jimmy Leblanc in your line? Middle name possibly Wayne. Born around 1920. Houston, TX. . Sending an attachment of a pic of my dad, Jimmy Wayne Blake (birthname) at age 12. He is searching for his birthparents. Birth father listed as Jimmy Leblanc.Birth mother, Ruby Blake, age 19 at time of my dad's birth in New Orleans, May 24, 1940. Possibly from Galveston.
