My Father, Lonnie Joseph Whitfield, was a cousin ofMarie Eliska Whitfield and visited with her from time to time; last being near San Antonio, I believe.

Is there oral family history as to why Eliska's parents went to St. Tammany Parish to be married? I'm assuming it was an elopement. However, surely there must have been a relative on one side or the other that assisted them to go so far away from Plaucheville, La. Any assistance on the line of William Whitfield would be greatly appreciated. Marileas@live.com
