More Louisiana Genealogy Help needed?

Need help find a Felix Dessalles born in New Orleans Ward 7 Sep 1864. His wife was Odile Galliardet born in 1865 in NO La. Odile Parents were Ovida Galliardet born in 1828 in NO and Angela born in 1839. Ovida’s mother was Lisa Camel born in 1799. And his father was from Santo Domingo. I know these people but if anyone can help me find their ancestors that would be of great help
