Editor’s Note: This is the second of a twopart series describing the genealogy of a local Vietnam War hero along with his ancestral trek to Jennings, starting in the Middle Ages. The story reflects similar ancestral migration stories of many residents.

Genealogical research on a locally celebrated Vietnam Veteran, Wayne Milner, turned into a reflection on what it took for every Southwest Louisiana resident’s ancestors to make their way through the centuries to this location. The research by SWLA natives reveals evidence of ancestral survival through deadly eras of history showing an interesting look, according to the researchers, at how the entire population today is in many ways, lucky to be here.

The Jeff Davis Parish Fair parade rolled down the streets of Jennings on Friday, filled with floats, cheer squads, dance groups, marching bands, queens and more from throughout the area. Crowds gathered to cheer them on or catch candy and trinkets.
