  Notes	On early censuses, and in her birth record, she is “Mamie.” In the 1920 census George Pitard is living with wife Mary and son Robert. Right next to them is William J. Burns, with Nora his wife and son William J. Jr. They are living at 5107 and 5105 Chartres street in the 9th Ward. It’s an excellent supposition that this is Mary’s family. William Sr. also working on the railroad, as in 1930. William is living in his daughter's household in the 1930 census. Mamie is living with Joseph Mayorga in the 1930 census, with children Charlotte, Robert, Loleta, and William. In the house is "father-in-law" William Burns, who must actually be her father. Why, though, doesn't Leonarda appear in 1930? Was she born after 1930? I can't find her or the Mayorga family in the 1940 census; see notes under her daughter. They seems to have moved out of the U.S. for while. She is called "Mrs. J.D. Mayorga" when her son gets married in 1942.
