Hello;
As far as I know we have no close family ties in La.
My gggrandfather had five brothers. One died in eastern Pa. The others moved to north Beaver co.Pa.(later called Lancaster co.) My ggrandfather was born in Pa. in 1844.
I think some of the brothers moved to Ohio,and Wisconsin. Their names would have been, Nathaniel,Alexander,Ralph,Michael A.
Their mother was Martha Foxen.
My line has been traced back to 1668/1670 to a George Copper in Kent co.Md.
George Copper jr. n 1704 in Md.,Joseph b 1729 Md.,Nathaniel b 1766 Md.,Joseph b.1818 Pa.,James b 1844 Pa.,David Riley b.1870 Ia.
Richard,b 1913 Ks. then me b.1933 Ks.
If I knew your fathers name and his fathers name I may be able to help.

Later
David W.Copper
