Good morning
I'm looking for biographic information about Louis Vasnier, a black singer
and banjo player from New Orleans in the years 1890-1910.
What i found on the net is very poor.
Maybe a specialist could tell me more !
My quest is a genealogical quest.
Sorry for my bad english !
please respond to    gouvillon at hotmail.com , as i am  not a member of your
list.
Please transfer my question to anybody could answer it.
Thank you so much
Michel, from France
