Subject: Dupuy family: Hi, I just
found your wonderful site. I have a copy of the Antoine Trabue
and Magdalen LeFevre family tree designed by A. E. D. Trabue,
1914. My great-grandmother was Kathrine Boone m. Dr. Bradley, I
think by squinting and trying to read the names. Their names
are off the branch of Jane M. Joseph Minter, Elizabeth m. James
Major. My grandmother was Agnes Bradley Day who was married to
Dr. R. C. Day and lived in Oklahoma City until her death in the
late 40's. Dr. Day passed away in 1930. If you have a copy of
this etching of the family tree, you will see "Jane M. Albert
Branham" on the branch to the left of the tree trunk and our
family name "Bradley" on the right of the trunk. It is a
coincidence that you are in Okla. City. My cousin, Dick Day,
and his family still live there. I am now a Texan.
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful web page. Dee (Day)
