G. Barre, not Joan Stevens
Wow, your research looks good. I think I have most of it. My husband is David Barre, son of Albert Barre, son of Valentin Barre, son of Oscar Barre, son of Bernard Barre. It is the Barre line that I want to go farther on. Sue Deshotel sent a query in 1999 and does not answer to that e-mail address. She thought that Hipolite Barre was the father of Bernard Barre. I cannot find a source for this and wondered what her source was. This is a long shot, but do you know more on this line or of a current address for Sue Deshotel? We actually took a trip to Marksville, Louisianna last year to see if they had records, but they (a Catholic church) said they had sent them to Alexandria for safekeeping. I haven't written to them yet.
I also wanted to verify multiple marriages for Oscar Barre.
Thank you, G. Barre
