R.A.,
I've just read all of the messages in this forum, and i'm surprised there aren't more!Maybe all the others know more or aren't looking.
Since you seem to be the one with the most information, i figured you'd be the best one to track this down.
In your searches through the diocesan papers, etc., have you encountered the writings of a Sister Annunciata Malveaux -- an Oblate, i believe.I met her at my **former** (Malveaux) in-laws' over 35 years ago.She was a definite genealogical nut, going backwards and forwards at the same time.She had narrowed the first Malveaux in Opelousas (Laurent?) to a descendant of a Belgian.(My ex- father- in- law, when in Belgium after WWII, had learned that most of the harbor records were destroyed in the war.Tant pis!)
If the Oblates still have Sr. Annunciata's work, that could help all of you make great leaps because i believe she was being very thorough in her documentation.
Happy rooting!
Pat
