Hi Dianna
Hope by now you have established the parents of Edouard Manuel who m2. Laura Fruge.
I see the name of Francois Ursin Manuel offered as his father. Francois did indeed have a son Edouard b. 1858 but I think he was too old to be your Edouard. If he did not marry Avia Fontenot until 1886 he would have been 28 years old. That may have happened but they usually married eariler in those days.
I think he may be the son of Adam Lastie Manuel m. Ophelia Chapman. b. ca. 1868 St. Landry Parish, Louisiana (No birth record found to date)Adam Lastie Manuel was the son of Lastie Ursin Manuel m. Lize Reed. Lastie Ursin was the son of Ursin Manuel m. Sophie Desmaret. Ursin was the son of Pierre Manuel m.Genevieve Albert.
I don't have a thread of proof for this lineage. I am just not comfortable with the former. I have not done a lot of work on Ursins line as he is the only son of Pierre and Genevieve that my husband is not descended from. But I have had to work them some to separate them from the rest.
Will be glad to help any way I can
