I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this man. He is my husband's paternal gr.gr. grandfather.

I have in my database, the following:
Alcin Vidrine (Antoine & Marie Josephe [dite Josephine] Ortego) b. 21 Oct 1845, d. 1 Aug 1932.

He married on 12 Feb 1867 to Estelle Andrepont (Phillipe & Emilie Pitre) b.1 Feb 1849 d.15 Jan 1918.
They were the parents of 13 children...[8 boys and 5 girls].

Their daughter, Ada Vidrine m. Jos. Felix Hargroder, is who my husband descends from.

My sources for the above information are mainly SWLR CD and Tombstone inscriptions. [Alcin's grave has a CSA headstone inscribed with the above information].

Today, I came across some conflicting information about this same Alcin Vidrine [same birthdate, same parents, same CSA Unit, but with a different wife.]

This information is an abstraction of a biography done on Alcin Vidrine published in 1891, by The Gulf Publishing Company.

The article states that his wife is "Miss Mary E. Thompson, a native of Louisiana, born in 1848."

SWLR CD has no record of this marriage...prior to 1891, which is when the article was published.

The birthyear range for Alcin's children with Estelle Andrepont is from 1868 to 1895.

Any comment on this will much appreciated. Thanks, Rita
