Have very little information about my grandfather and his family from Oberlin and Lena
Station. Dave A. RICHEY has been deceased for about 76 years and my mother has lost all
contact with the family. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't seem to locate
Lena Station on an LA map where a brother, Ely RICHEY lived. Thanks for any help.
Looking for family genealogy on these families: Stagg FONTENOT and Della VIZENA. Both
are from the Kinder, LA area. Thank you.

I am so very sorry. I was brought up in Foster homes, so, my knowledge is very limited.
This is what I do know.
Emily Potts Racine was born 4/27/1897 died 10/2/60. Buried at Allen Parish La. The areas
they all were from was Saline, Ruston, Jonesboro, Hodge, Montgomery
and Kolfax, Louisiana. The time span I am looking at is early 1800's for William Penn
Adams and his wife Mary Haynes Adams. This is all the information I have. Thank you.
