This is my many X great grandfather.

This entry is very confusing : Marriage Husband @I1357@. Wife @I1345@. Marriage 2 OCT 1780. Calcasieu, Louisiana, USA. [7] [8] [9] Diocese of Baton Rouge clearly show his marriage to Marie Jeanne Legue as occurring in Pointe Coupee. There is no mention of Calcasieu Parish.

In addition, I recommend listing his burial date right up there with his death.
