Open questions touching these claims
Eugenie DeCuir Mixon's parentage is now named by a tier-2 source, but only through a married style: her father's obituary of 27 April 1933 names his and Louise Landry's three daughters, one of them “Mrs. Tynes Mixon”. What remains is Eugenie's own birth or baptismal entry naming both parents, that identification at certificate grade, and the Landry bridge: through which Landry is Nanette Landry a cousin of Michael's mother?

- Louisiana Secretary of State vital-records index (births more than 100 years old) for Decuir, Eugenie, 1908, and the Saint Peter's, New Iberia baptismal register (Diocese of Lafayette archives): either should name both parents and would take the parentage claims from supported to a direct statement. Then the Iberia Parish Clerk of Court's marriage licence of April 1903, which names both parties' parents, and the death index entries for Decuir, Louise, 1927 and Decuir, Frank, 1933 — the latter also settles the 1880-against-1879 birth-date conflict. For the Landry bridge: Louise Landry's memorial names her parents as Albert Landry (1850–1905) and Eugenie Comeaux Landry and her brothers Leon Joseph (1883–1959), Edmond Norbet (1886–1949) and Paul Tillhou (1888–1958), so a John Albert “Al” Landry would sit among those brothers' children; trace that deceased generation in the 1910 and 1920 census before treating Nanette as a cousin through the Landrys. No search is run for either living Landry.

When and where did Tynes Emery Mixon Sr. and Eugenie DeCuir marry? Their first child was born in New Orleans in March 1931 and no opened source dates the marriage. The one compiled lead found is the Mixsonian compilation's “About 1930, he m. Eugenie Elois DeCuier”, which cites a 1930 New Orleans census entry for Tynes: a tier-3 lead for this question, not an event.

- Iberia Parish and Orleans Parish marriage indexes for 1928–1931 (Clerk of Court; FamilySearch Louisiana parish marriages, sign-in), then the 1930 Orleans Parish census schedule. Their own obituaries would help as well: The Daily Iberian of 16–18 March 1981 and 15–17 January 1984, on Iberia Parish Library microfilm, should give the death places, the burials and probably Tynes's parents and birthplace. The couple itself is already proved by the 1950 schedule and their children's obituaries, so a negative search changes nothing.
