Folse's in White Castle/Rapides Parish
I am looking for the parents of John Ralph FOLSE. He married Oney Ryland in 1904 in Rapides Parish, Louisiana. The family sources say that he was born in White Castle in Iberville Parish. According to the 1910-1920 census records, he was born between 1872 and 1875 in Louisiana. According to Findagrave.com, he died 12 Dec 1921 and was born 17 Oct 1874. I have found a baptism record for Raoul Joseph FOLSE, son of Oscar FOLSE and Ophelia TEMPLET, who was born 14 Oct 1873 and was baptized at Assumption Catholic Church in Plattenville in Assumption Parish. I noticed that Raoul was still single in 1900, just like John Ralph would have been. I can't seem to find Raoul after 1900 or John Ralph before 1910. Does anyone know for sure if John Ralph and Raoul Joseph are one and the same? The fact that they do not seem to show up at the same time in any census record makes me lean that way. There is no death record for John Ralph nor an obituary. I can't seem to find a death record for Raoul either. I know that Plattenville is not exactly the same as White Castle, though I know they are only about 18 miles apart. Also, I know how family sources can be somewhat incorrect at times.
