Hi Ruth,
It does seem likely that your husband and I are related.I mean, how many Foyils from Oakdale can there be!?! And, the names of several of Everett's children seems to link him to your husband's family.
Here they are in approximate birth order:
----With 1st wife, Dessie Mae Dotson----
-Earlton Foyil
Graduated from Oakdale High School, 1938
-Kenneth "Bill" Foyil

m. Ellen Pickles
-Avis Lorraine Foyil (my grandmother)
b. 25 Jan 1922, LaSalle Ph., LA
d. Aug 1982, Oakdale, LA
m. Lazeme Fontenot
-Frank M. Foyil
b. 14 Jul 1926
d. 21 Jan 1973
Frank later changed his name to Plumlee
-Happy Foyil
b. 1928
d. 1928
-Mollie Gean "Polly" Foyil
m. Kenneth Farrell
------With 2nd wife, Gussie Laird-------
-Troy Foyil
b. abt 1944
Graduated from Oakdale High School, 1962
Everett was my mother's grandfather.She remembers visiting him with her parents when she was a girl, but doesn't recall ever meeting any of his brothers or sisters, nor does she recall any mention of them.
And, the only mention of heritage that she ever heard was of an Irish one.
She can recall no mention of Oklahoma, either.But, she says Everett was dark haired with a dark complexion.Go figure.
Nice to meet fellow Foyil researchers, as you know they're few and far between.
