We are trying to locate relatives of Cleveland Gallien. His father's name was Frank Gallien.

My great-grand father is John Milton Gallien from Natchitoches,La. Keep in touch .

My great grandfather was Levy Gallien from around Orange, TX, we think, but I am unable to find any information on him. Please help. His children were Sidney Gallien from Hayes, La., Susie Gallien Abshire from Kaplan, La., and Missouri Gallien from Hayes, La. If anyone can give me information I would greatly appreciate it.

Linda,

I have my Gallier's going back to France - 1615. Researching census records,one family had the spelling of Gallien, Galien, Gallier - all in one family - the census takers were not all that literate. More than likely, as some of us have discovered, the census takers spelled the names phonetically because so many of our ancestors could not read and write.

The "Gallien" name was changed to "Gallier" when they moved to Texas, so if you cannot find it under "Gallien" look under Gallier.

Has your web site moved?
I tried http://communities.msn.com/THEGALLIENFAMILY and it said it was invalid.

My mother was a Gallien and I wanted to find out more if possible.

http://communities.msn.com/THEGALLIENFAMILYSITE...you forgot to add site after the gallien family.you can get to it now

My father (Sidney Sr.) had a brother named Cleveland Gallien,who lived in the Abberville (LA) Area and another brother Dennis Gallien who lived in Houston, TX. Other relatives resided in the Lake Charles, LA., area.

Cool Gwen....my name is Galliah and found out through intensive research that my true surname is Gallien...it became anglosized.
