Hi

I havent seen it yet, but a friend has found that an ancestor of mine was listed in the 1880 Pointe Coupee census living with the Yoist family. I know my ancestors father was deceased by 1880 but I had not know his mother was deceased while he was so young. He was born about 1864, so I gathered from this entry he was an orphan. Anyway my ancestors name was Riggs, but my friend found this Yoist family and I also believe there were some Yoist's in the Catholic church records books, but not the same family my ancestor was living with in the 1880 census.
happy hunting
