This is a copy of my 2003 post to the Babineaux board: I am searching for information on my maternal grandfather, Raymond Charles Brown, his brothers John E. & Clemont Brown, his mother, Fannie Frances Babineaux Brown, and his father Charles P. Brown or Walter Brown. I have a SSN document listing Raymond's father as Charles P. Brown, and a death cert. listing his father as Walter Brown. All other information and mothers are exact.

My grandfather's death certificate lists the following:
date of birth - 3/28/1905 in New Iberia, LA
date of death - 7/23/1979 in Lake Charles, LA
mother - Fannie Frances Babino (Babineaux/Babineau)
father - Walter Brown

I found Fannie and family in the 1920 and 1930 Lake Charles, LA census records listing Fannie as 'head', mulatto, and a widow, with sons Raymond, John, and Clemont Brown, but have not been able to find any further information - nor death or marriage records for Fannie or "husbands" Walter or Charles P. Brown.

If you have information or can help me to solve this mystery, please contact me. Thank You - Michelle
