Hi cousin. How are you? I am from Lake Charles but I live in Lacey, WA (military spouse). My great-grandfather is Edward Syas Sr. My grandfather is Edward Syas Jr. from Fisherville. There was an Edward Syas III(my uncle) but he died a few years back. I remember your father visiting my mother in Lake Charles a couple of years ago. They owned a lot of property in Fisherville. They called my grandfather "Mop" supposedly he was always clean. My mother still lives in one of the houses my grandfather bought. She had three brothers and two sisters. Three of them are still alive. They are Myrtle Benedit(my mother),Reginald Syas(Lake Charles) and Evelyn Hardaway(Houston, TX). Edward, Agnes and Leroy are deceased. We were aware we had relatives in Cali but had never spoken to any. Really nice to meet you.
