colewilliam80 — 2012-02-12 07:43:53Z

I am the Great Grandson of Laney and Fanny Cole. Laney was the son of George and Marie Cole. I have found lots of info on Mare Poissot, I have been trying to find info on George W. Cole. I believe he was Cherokee Indian, and that he was from Meridian, MS. If anyone has any info on George or Marie, please email me.

Thank you,

One more thing re Mavis James Brown Sr., I was told he had a son, James Anthony Brown born about 1940 and a daughter, Clarice Brown with his first wife (before he married Evelyn). I can't even find marriage info for any of this.

Re: Mavis James Brown born circa 1915; lived Louisiana

patwandab — 2012-02-11 22:12:36Z

I just now saw this post. My first husband's mother's name was M. Evelyn McClure. They had two children: Mavis James Brown, Jr. born 1943, and Linda Sue Brown born 1946. Anything you can tell me about Mavis James Brown, Sr. would be appreciated, since he was my son's birth grandfather.
What little I do know is that he had been in the Navy. Thank you, Wanda

Re: Hope, Louisiana?

Isabelle45 — 2012-01-12 05:25:44Z

This book, Louisiana Post Offices, by John J. Germann states there was a Hope, LA, Post Office in Bienville Parish, LA, from 1900 to 1929.

Re: Hope, Louisiana?

BarbaraMunson60 — 2012-01-07 23:07:55Z

That would lead one to believe it was in Bienville Parish, wouldn't it? Have you tried posting this on the Bienville Parish board?

It's possible that Hope was the name of a plantation in that area, and that a small community kept the name for a while.

Hope, Louisiana?

BrianKnoff — 2012-01-03 12:18:25Z

Circa 1915, was there ever a place (village, town, city, parish, ??) with the name of HOPE? I have a couple of relatives whose place of birth is this Hope, LA. I searched for parishes and town names through LA gov page without success.

I found Good Hope, Hopedale, and Hope Villa.

Thanks!

PS: Father lived in Ringgold, Bienville, LA in 1913 and on his WWI card listed Bienville Parish, LA 1917-1918. Maybe this helps you?

Re: Looking for Overton Marriage from 1942 or 1943

BarbaraMunson60 — 2011-11-10 19:13:35Z

The only marriage records that I know that are online are the ones for Orleans Parish (New Orleans), and they're not listed there.

If they didn't come to New Orleans to get married, I'd guess they stayed close to the base. Fort Polk army base is in Vernon Parish. Their Clerk of Court's website says you can do research in person, but also provides the link to the Vernon Historical & Genealogical Society which does lookups.

Looking for Overton Marriage from 1942 or 1943

Ladyrockcrawler — 2011-11-09 02:55:10Z

My grandfather was stationed in Louisiana with the Army and my grandmother drove down there and married him either in 1942 or 1943. I am trying to find out how I would locate a marriage certificate on them. I would appreciate any help I could get. I live in Alabama. My Grandfather was Alfred Overton and my Grandmother Janet Isbell. They were both from Alabama.

Re: Jean Henry Vicknair

1945Brenda — 2011-11-08 01:00:22Z

One of Jean Henri Vicknair's children, Henriette Vicknair, wife of Ernest Alexandre, was my great grandmother. I have some information about Henriette; however, no pictures. Also, would anyone happen to know how she and Ernest met? For some reason my mom Dazie Cambre Duhe' (Henriette's granddaughter) never spoke too much about her grandparents. They were hard workers busy earning a living and taking care of their family, and for some reason didn't have photos, stories, etc. Any info would be appreciated.

Tara send me your email address I have some info relating William June and George Salvant.

Re: Salvant

neworleans59 — 2011-08-22 12:36:01Z

Hi Tara,Still digging, I found a picture of William sr. I took this years ago while visiting Pass Christian. He was already passed on but my aunt had photos.

Re: Salvant

neworleans59 — 2011-08-16 14:04:19Z

Thanks, hopefully working together we can find June and Williams' parents. I find it interesting that Joseph, Julius and William were in WW2 at the same time. There was also a David C. and Dewey H. Salvant. I did find out that there was a Pierre Salvant a free man who had a plantation and owned slaves. I would love to know why the Salvants migrated to Mississippi. I saw also that the stats on where they lived the majority was Louisiana then Missisppi.

Re: Salvant

taracsc — 2011-08-15 16:32:57Z

Im not sure if there was a George Salvant, but I did read a story were the was a Salvant male, who moved to Ohio and had his own business there until he passed away. I can definitely tell from looking at the picture of Agnes she was definitely related to my Grandfather. I looks like they have the same skin tone and the same nose and eyes. My Grandfather had gray/greenish eyes. I think that William Sr. Parents would have been born in like the late 1840s-1850s. I wish there was a way to know for sure. I'll see if I can find anything.

Re: Salvant

neworleans59 — 2011-08-15 15:39:19Z

Would that be Jean Pierre Savant/Salvant born 1896? Then there was Patureau/Pierre Salvant father Juan Salvant and Mari Luisa Lambre. Also, there was Jean Salvant who married Florentine Soulant in 1849. Jean's parents were Jean Salvant and Rosalie Daubard. I've got to revisit this lineage. There was also a George Salvant born 1878 in la. He too lived in Pass Christian, later moved to Ohio where he died in 1928. His parents were Ralph and Rose Salvant. Any mention of a George in your family? Here are pictures of William Salvant jr. and my grandmother Agnes Salvant Snaer.

Re: Salvant

taracsc — 2011-08-14 15:49:24Z

I was looking to see who was Julius Sr. Parents the only thing I could find was Julius Salvant and it didn't list a DOB or death or who he was married to. I did hear about our heritage. My aunt told me that there were two twin brothers from France who settled in Louisiana/Mississippi? One married an African woman and the other married a French/Caucasian woman, so that's how you get the white and black Salvants. Im not sure how true the story is but that's all I know as far as that's concerned maybe if you have a copy of a birth certificate that may help.

Re: Salvant

neworleans59 — 2011-08-14 14:38:44Z

Ifound out that Julius Jr. funeral was at Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church 2004. This is the same church my family attended, my great grandfather's funeral was there also. Most of my family if not all were baptized there, married there and funeral services held there. This church holds alot of family history.

Re: Salvant

taracsc — 2011-08-14 14:34:39Z

My Grandfather was Gaines Hardee Salvant II, he was named after his Uncle Gaines Hardee Salvant I. His father was Julius Salvant II (1909) and my Great Uncle was named afer him Julius (Edgar) Salvant (1930s). My Great Great Grandfather is Julius (june) Salvant. My mother was Linda Leigh Salvant she passed away in 2006 she had 2 other sibling one is deceased (Gaines Hardee Salvant III) the only one living is Patricia Salvant.

Re: Salvant

neworleans59 — 2011-08-14 04:53:28Z

My grandmother Agnes named my mother Agnes. My grandmother Agnes married Louis Snaer Jr. He too was from New Orleans and was from a french heritage. My mother married a Watson. There were many Watson's in Pass Christian. My great aunt Georgia Salvant married Edward Watson. Edward and my grandfather Harry were brothers. What was/is your mother's father name? Sounds like my mother and your grandfather were/is cousins and your mother is my cousin. My mother is still living she is 88 yrs. old. I'm still looking for William Sr.'s parents names. This has been an exciting journey.

Re: Salvant

taracsc — 2011-08-13 19:33:13Z

what are your parents names? Your Grandmother and my Great Grandfather were cousins, Julius Salvant II was my mother's Granfather. So I'm asuming you and my mother would have been cousins. I'm 23 by the way, but I've learned a lot from these conversations we've been having over the past couple of days.

Re: Salvant

neworleans59 — 2011-08-13 17:19:47Z

William Sr. was my great grandfather. William jr my great uncle. My grandmother was Agnes Salvant, Selina was one of her sisters. I'm hoping Our Mother of Mercy has records, but it may be necessary to contact the Catholic Diocese. You may reach me directly at neworleans59@gmail.com.

Re: Salvant

taracsc — 2011-08-11 22:53:58Z

I was searching and I found out there were 2 William Salvants, one was born in 1867 and the other was born 1915. Also the William Salvant that was born in 1915 had 7 sisters, he was the only boy. There names were Ellen, Mary, Louisa, Agnes, Adela, Rebecca (Selena), and Virginia. By the way does Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church keep family records?

Re: Salvant

taracsc — 2011-08-11 17:56:59Z

Yea that's my Grand Uncle. I was looking at the pictures and I find it sort of a coincidence that Selina Salvant Henry passed a year after my Grandfather (Gaines Hardee Salvant II). Was that your Grandmother (Selina Salvant). By the way is there any chance that I can have your email, my cousin and I are trying to plan a Salvant family reunion. Let me know or private message me. Thanks!

Re: Salvant

taracsc — 2011-08-08 02:21:17Z

I have a Great uncle that was buried in MS, I'm guess Pass Christian, his name is Julius Edgar Salvant. He died in 2004.

Re: Salvant

neworleans59 — 2011-08-08 02:12:53Z

Thanks so much for responding, I'd like any info on a William Salvant. I will defintely let you know what I find. Do you have any family buried in St. Stephens Cemetery, Delisle, Ms or St. Paul Cemetery,Pass Christian Ms?

Re: Salvant

taracsc — 2011-08-08 01:56:30Z

There was a Julius Salvant Sr. and a Julius Salvant Jr., I'm guess my Great Grandfather was the Jr. and he had few brothers, one was named Gaines H. Salvant and he was born in 1915. My Grandfather was named after his uncle Gaines H. Salvant nd he was born in 1930. My grandfather had 4 other brothers, Joseph, Julius (Edgar), and Henry, I'm not sure of the other brothers' name. My Granduncle Henry is the only one living. I will keep you posted on the progress.

Re: Salvant

taracsc — 2011-08-08 01:36:38Z

Well just let me know what you find out. I'm sure were related in some form or fashion. I did a search on hear and found out the Julius Salvant had brother named William so there may be some kind of connection there.

Re: Salvant, LA

neworleans59 — 2011-08-05 12:23:44Z

I have not been able to find anything on my great grandfather William Salvant who lived in New Orleans and later moved to Pass Christian Ms. He was born abt 1865, so far looks like most Salvants lived in Placquimine Parish. Also, I have found a Jean Salvant born 1840-1872 wife Rose.
They had two sons Roselius and Jean. Rose later moved to Pass Christian. She lived close to my great grandfather's home. Any info would be appreciated.

Re: Salvant

neworleans59 — 2011-08-05 12:14:19Z

My grandfather was not a brother of Julius.You may know that Julius brothers were Joseph and Gainer Your great grandfather June however maybe. I'm still researching the connection between these two families. So far everything point to them moving from Placquemine Parish Louisiana to New Orleans then to Pass Christian. Julius's family and William's lived very close to each other. Most families lived close by. Our Mother of Mercy in Pass Christian holds alot of information. I'm going to see what I can find from them as well.

Re: Salvant

taracsc — 2011-08-04 00:28:50Z

@neworleans59 do you know if your great grand father had a brother by the name of Julius Salvant. My Great grand father was Julius Salvant and he was from Pass Christian MS as well.

Re: Salvant, LA

jsalvant1 — 2011-06-26 16:54:17Z

I am related to a Jean Marie Salvant, b. 1789, d. 1830, married to a Marie Josephine Veillon. They lived in Plaquemine Parish, LA. Where in France he came from I have not been able to trace, but there are a lot of Salvants around Brive la Gaillarde in SW France.Notably a Jean-Claude Salvant who has a restaurant on the family farm in Colonges la Rouge just SE of Brive. I have been able to trace Jean Maries's progeny for 6 generation down to my family of origen. I have some family stories, but not much of a paper trail since the courthouse in Plaquemines was raized during the Civil War and information from that area is hard to come by. But, I am willing to share with anyone what I know if you contact me at jsalvant@verizon.net.
