Hello Fellow list members,
Could someone please tell me how to locate my mother's family within the Latta
family branches of the website? What other information other than names and
birthplaces would be helpful?
My mother is Alison Marie Latta DOB 17//8/36, Portland, Victoria, Australia. She
is the eldest of two girls. Her sister is Jillian Grace DOB 2/5/46.
My Grandfather was Thomas Charles Black DOB 19/11/04, Warrnambool, Victoria,
Australia. He died in Portland, Victoria, Australia on 9/3/77 and was the 3rd
youngest of 13 children.
My Great-Grandfather was John Latta and he came from Ireland in the late 1800's
and married a Grace Parker in Australia.
I enjoyed looking at the photos of the Latta family on Scott Steven Slocum's
site and was quite amazed by the family resemblance. The Latta nose and quite
delicate features seem to be a feature which has leapt across the generations. I
was at a recent 90th birthday of my great Auntie Tup Latta (The last surviving
and youngest sister of my Grandpa)and about 40 of the Latta family were there.
The family resemblance even to my own children is just amazing. We are also
quite a lively and talkative bunch. I wonder if that also is a trait carried
over the generations?
If you have any information about the Irish/Australian Lattas it would be much
appreciated.
Thankyou.
