My husband and I live in Gretna. His family -- Allen Murlee McDonald and Effie Rose (Gehegan) McDonald lived in Algiers, La. My husband's sister has been trying to find information on her maternal grandfather but have been totally unsuccessful.
My understanding from my mother-in-law is that Thelma Gehegan married either William or Randolph Norred. Her brother, Oscar was my husband's paternal grandfather and we have no information on him. My mother-in-law believes that he died in Louisiana while she and her husband lived in Oklahoma -- possibly around 1952. I have checked all cemetery records for Livingston Parish and find no record of an Oscar Gehegan.
My e-mail address is
lois236@cox.net and would be interested in any information you might have. I've been working on genealogy for my husband's family for several years and have quite a bit of information on the paternal side -- the McDonalds from Livingston Parish, going back to the 1700s, but could get no further than the last century with the Gehegan/Norred family.
The surnames in my husbands family are: McDonald, Stewart, Justice (Justus), Gehegan, Norred, and Allen.
Thanks.
Lois McDonald
