Emile's parents may be Theophile Theard (1861-1921) and Clementine ?Duaps? (1862-1918)
Anna's parents may be Fredrick Toyer (1841-1891) and Rosa (Rose) Gibson (1853-?)
Any help would be greatly appreciated! st james

Good luck in your search

Have you ordered Emile and Anna's death certificates from the state archives? If the person who provided the information knew it, their parents' names would be listed.

Are either of these the correct people?

Emile Theard
age 45
died 6/6/1929 in St. James Parish
(Order 1929 death record, Volume 26, Page 10636)

Mrs. Emile Theard
age 70
died 10/29/1935 in St. James Parish
(order 1935 death record, Volume 30, Page 12405)

You stated that you were looking for Emile Theard whose parents are Clemence Dupard (actually Duparc) and Theophile Theard. Theophile Theard is my great-great grandfather.

I recently found out that Clemence Duparc is the daughter of slave owner, Flagile Duparc and a slave named Henriette Jean Pierre. They had three children together, including Clemence (who gave herself the Americanized name Clementine after slavery). Clemence married Theophile Theard when she was 15 in 1877.

They had 13 children together including Emile Arthur Theard (1882-1958) and my great grandfather, Romalis Theard (1889-1948). I have a picture of my great grandfather posted and many others.

For more information on Flagy Duparc, you can go to www.lauraplantation.com

Flagy's mother's family established the first plantation in Natchitoches. They were the Prud'homme family. If you google Prud'homme you will find numerous historical documents and records and photos.

Hope this helps. If you have any photos of Emile or his wife and children, please share them with me. dionne@dionneroberts.com
