Well hello my name is char Douglas and I'm a defrance Descendant from my great grandmas people. They we're from Natchez. My great great great grand dads name was Edward defrance 1848-1910, who married Fannie Wood 1862-1899. There is another Descendant name Leon who is very knowledgeable in this area. Maybe you can shoot him am email at rulevillems@yahoo.com. Surprisingly we may be from the same defrance family linage. Also you should check the archives in Jackson, Ms which is the capital city. Take care.
