Additional Comments:
The New Orleans, Louisiana Birth Records Index, 1790-1899, Vol. 86, Pg. 143 
(on Acestry.com) shows Joseph's middle name as Scotola.  The names of six of 
his brothers also included the same middle name. One of Joseph's sons said the 
Baragona name was changed from a much longer name that started with an "S."  
It is purely speculative that Scotola was part of the original Baragona name.

Joseph married Clara Mack about 1910; they had 10 children.  They later 
divorced, and he reportedly remarried.  He lived in a nursing home in 
Newellton, Louisiana about six months before his death on September 16, 1968, 
in Tensas Parish.  He is buried at Legion Memorial Cemetery in Newellton.

Joseph was my husband's grandfather.
