Surnames: Sonobia, Henriques
I'm looking for more info on an ancestor, Lugarda Sonobia (this may not have been exactly her name, as I have found various spellings, such as Lugada and Lugadra in the census records here on ancestry, but this was her name on her son's death cert... her son was Leon Henriques and she also married a Leon Henriques, who was from the Philippines). The records I've found says she was born in Louisiana. One census record said that both of her parents were born in Louisiana, and one said that her father was from Spain and her mother was from Louisiana. Does anyone have any info. on her, or at least on the surname Sonobia (or a similar name) in Louisiana? I wish I had more info. to go on, but I just don't know much at all...
Thanks.

Sanavia Lugardo Henriques died Aug. 13, 1923 and Leon Henriques died Jan 20, 1928. If you will post you email address, the next time I am at the library, I will copy their obituaries and send them to you. Death certificates can be obtained from the Secretary of State, Vital Records, P.O. Box 94125, Baton Rouge, LA 70804-9125. The cost is $5 each. Sanavia's is in Vol 187, page 515 and Leon's is Vol 195, page 1601. You can download forms on www.sos.louisiana.gov/archives/archives/vitalrecords-1.pdf
Hope this helps.
