of three children born to Pablo TUFANIO ,age 40, and Nunzia LIUZZA, a
native of Contessa, Italy, age 36. Two of the children were registered as
being born in Amite City, they were Epifanio born on the fourth day of
September 1883 and Maria born the 27th of January 1885. She was my
grandmother. The third child whose birth was registered at the same time
was Mariana born 27th of Sept. 1881 at 26 Dauphine St., New Orleans. A
fourth child, Carlina appears on the 1900 census for Iberville Parish. It

I am looking for information on Joe SURTAIN. I think he was born in
Amite, Louisiana. He married a woman whose name was Ellen--I don't know
if that is the correct spelling. He had a number of children. The only
names that I know are Joe Jr., Osborne, and Deborah. I think he
eventually moved to New Orleans.
Because the name Surtain is not a common name, research on it should be
fairly easy. The information that I am hoping to obtain is his
birthdate, wife's first and maiden name and his parents' names.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
