I am pretty sure my mom use to talk about her brother "Silver" pretty sure its Sylvester. My mom use to say she was 3 when her dad died but im not sure why she isnt in any of the records her last name was Picou but she said she was her mothers last child. I know they were mulatto and we have photos of Aspasie just not sure where the split is.

Sorry you have lost me here. What was your mothers christen name? are you saying that her brother could have been Sylvester Verden but her name was ..... Picou ? But I am assuming her mother was Maggie Verden.

Yes apparently Maggie married twice first to Robert Picou my moms dad who I am assuming passed away. She then married Prosper Verden. My moms maiden name was Cecile Picou she married Nathaniel Calloway Jr. I may be on a different generation and Maggie was my moms grand mother im still digging to get down to that as it seems to be the area every one is stuck on. My moms obituary stated her mom as Maggie Sennett and father as Robert Picou. I think because every one was relying on oral history dates names and people may have been mixed up.

I found this but it suggests Maggie married .... Picou after Prosper Verden. Slyvester Picou 34 yrs could be Sylvester Verden in the 1910 census aged 4.

ok on this census Maggie is married to Robert and this is correct. Agnes, Sylvester and Maggie are listed as Picou but from my family and some of Maggie's sisters family Olivia I got the information that the first children belonged to Prosper Verden. The are also listed under an earlier census with Prosper and Maggie. Since Robert was not in the picture at the time I am assuming that this is true.
