Welcome Darryl,
I was born and raised,not too far from ya,in Bogalusa.
My Grandmothers family was from Ponchatoula,there last name was Gregwire,not sure that's how it's spelled,it is how it's pronounced.Grandmother just passed away,a week before Christmas,my mother and dad went to Ponchatoula to find the grave site of her mother,but found nothing.They say Katrena destroyed some of the graves,but they are still looking.
Good to know you are this close.
God bless,Keith
