Hi Brent,
I don't know a lot about my ancestry, but I do know the name Auzant and don't know how or if it relates to Vappie. I have some good friends by the named Degruy in N.O. and know for certain that they are closely related to Lloyd Auzant - the one I met is in his late 40's early fifties. Those you mentioned are probably his parents are grand parents. I am going to make the big 40 this December! :) Gotta run, all my love, Karen Johnson
