Maybe a few folks can copy and paste these names one at a time into google.com and confirm their party affiliation and report back on this thread.

First announce which one's you'll do, so we don't duplicate effort.

Hale Boggs was a democrat representative from Louisiana's 2nd district from 1941-43 and again from 1947-72. He disappeared over Alaska in a presumed airplane accident and was never seen again. He was the father of ABC's "This Week" former host Cokie Roberts.

Interesting list. I would bet that the Riley from S. Carolina was the father of the Riley that Clinton appointed as Sec. Of Education in his cabinet. From Charleston SC. The leftist media gave all of these people a free pass.

Checked over your list. Party affiliations are my expertise.
All names were Democrats, with only Alabama's Armistead I. Selden, Jr. later switching to the GOP after leaving office and running unsuccessfully for the Senate.

Well, I already blew the assignment. But I did find a good link to research bios of ex reps. Biographical Directory of the United States Congress.

That said, I just did the North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee names...
