My great-great grandmother was Marie Amanda Lanclos Courville. I'm sorry I've never heard that they adopted a child. They had 4 children: Rosa (my great-grandmother married Oscar Zerangue); Arthur; Leonce Michel & Henry Gabriel Courville. Leonce died at the age of 18 supposedly from a hunting accident. I have very few pics of them if you'd like I can email to you if you contact me. We called them Memare & Pepare Frank. They are buried in Arnaudville & I know exactly where the grave is at. Not sure is Leonce is buried in Arnaudville or Leonville. I have spreadsheets on the Lanclos'. I have on the Zerangue side. Will work on the Courville side.
