Notes:

He married his cousin, Marie Celestine SAUX. They had no children. Jean-Marie was a Miller.

Notes:

He was known as Louis, and he was the only one of his family to emigrate to the United States. Bennie Zahn writes that he returned to France for a visit with his parents in 1878 at which time the birth of his eighth child was imminent. On 10 June 1878 he wrote to his wife, Blazine Pene, citing the great joy he felt embracing his family; both of his parents still living. While the sights of France filled him with admiration and while he rejoiced at being in his homeland and with his family once again, his thoughts were of his wife and children, and the joy he anticipated upon his reunion with them. His handwriting was neat and precise and his throughts were beautifully and sentimentally expressed, all of which tends to indicate that he was a well-schooled person.

He died of stomach cancer when he was 45 year old; the youngest of his 13 children being just three years old. He spent the last months of his life at his summer home in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, where it was hoped that his condition would improve.

On his Find A Grave memorial page, he is shown as being born in Deyme, France, not in Cazeneuve-Montaut. He is also shown as buried at the Evergreen Cemetery in Ocean Springs. No photo of a tombstone is posted, however. (# 77856016).

Notes:

(Research):An mtDNA sample supplied a direct female descendant of Lucine (a child of Pat McGuire, the daughter of Josephine Morlas), was analyzed by FamilyTreeDNA in Houston. Their analysis showed the following Haplogroup assignment, along with the following differences from the Cambridge Reference Sequence.

HVR1 Haplogroup
K
HVR1 differences
from ?u?CRS?/u?
16224C

The mitochondrial super-haplogroup U encompasses haplogroups U1-U7 and haplogroup K. Haplogroup K is found through Europe, and contains multiple closely related lineages indicating a recent population expansion. The origin of haplogroup K dates to approximately 16,000 years ago, and it has been suggested that individuals with this haplogroup took part in the pre-Neolithic expansion following the Last Glacial Maximum. William Hurst, on his Haplogroup K Website, writes that "Katrine," the founding mother of mitochondrial DNA haplogroup K, was one of the "Seven Daughters of Eve" as listed in the 2001 book of that title by Bryan Sykes. A lot of happened since 2001, but the book is still valuable.

Katrine lived about 16,000 years ago. Perhaps the oldest known K descendant was Oetzi the Iceman whose frozen body was discovered in the Alps in 1991. Estimated at 5000 years old, the Iceman proved to have the basic mutations for a K: 16224C and 16320C. Every K is a cousin of Oetzi.

Lucine married John Dominic Morlas on 28 May 1888 in St. Stephen's Church, New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana. John (son of Jean-Marie Morlas and Caroline Maria Holmes) was born on 25 Aug 1865 in New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana; died on 14 Feb 1923 in New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana; was buried in Metairie Cemetery (Lake Lawn Metairie), New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana.

Notes:

Bennie Zahn writes that Clothilde married Charles SIEFKER. When she died at age 32, her husband and six children survived her, the youngest, Joseph Raphael Siefker, being but eight months old. Her widower became ill several years later and was hospitalized, leaving his children in care of relatives. A neighbor cared for Raphael, the youngest, and disappeared with him--moving north to Amite, Louisiana. She mistreated him, and Raphael was removed from her care. He was later adopted by the Mayor of Amite and his wife, who were childless. Raphael was renamed Robert Ellis GOODMAN.

The SIEFKER family later discovered his whereabouts and sued for custody, all of which was reported in the Amite newspapers. The judge ruled he should stay with his adoptive parents, and the Siefker family was sadly forced to accept this decision. His ROQUEVERT aunts later travelled to Amite, and were satisfied that he had a proper home and was being well cared for.

Louise married Joseph Wahl on 28 Jun 1910 in New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana. Joseph was born about 1887; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
