  1. I enjoy your blog! Most thrilling is to find you descend from the John J Golmon/Abigail Marler line. I would love to share some of the information I have on the lines. All the best! Valarie Golmon Davies

    1. Hi Valarie! Thank you for taking the time to post a comment. Sorry to say I do not descend from the Golmon/Marler line. I do have a sister-in-law who is the granddaughter of Ray Golmon, Sr. :-)

      My blog is an attempt to capture the history of the 'old families' who settled in Sicily Island/Catahoula Parish. The only information I have on the Golmon family is what you see posted above.
