I made contact with a Beago descendant last December who provided information on my grt-grandmother, Pasquiline(spelling found in legal document) Beago Cook. The provided information to me stated that Pasquiline, "Ceney" in old family letters, was the daughter of Louis and Sophia Beago.Louis Beago was born in Faenza, Italy as Luige Biaggio. He came to the United States in 1864 and changed his name to Louis Beago.He first lived in New Orleans where he met and married Sophia, whose parents where from Germany.Louis and Sophia moved to Galveston, TX in 1869.They had six children, but only Pasquiline(1866-mid 1910's), Sophia, and Louis JR. lived into adulthood.Louis SR. lived in Galveston till his death in 1878 at the age of forty-seven.Sophia lived till 1917 at the age of 72.Louis Jr. married a Charity Davis and had six children in Galveston.I have an old legal document between my grt-grandfather, Bennett Arthur Cook and Louis JR from 1896. There is not much on the sister, Sophia at this time.Any Beago's in the Houston/Galveston area?
