i was born and raised in Opel. I am originally a DeFils and my ggrandmother was a Chevis. I married into Josephs not from Opel. I know exactly where Prairie Laurent and still own property there inherited down from the Donato Bello & Maria Talliaferro line. My mother Audrey Aubespin DeFils was born and raised there. Still visit at least twice a year during holidays. Just got news of a relative that passed this past weekend but probably won't be able to come. i currently live in Atlanta.
