I've been doing the Latto name (and that includes Latta amd other spellings)
since I retired in 1989. In that time I've gathered a lot of info, mostly
about Scots of these surnames. My one burning ambition is to crack the
Scotland/USA movement of our ancestors. Most Americans get back to the
arrival of their ancestor from Ireland or Scotland. Many Scottish Lattos or
Lattas left to go to Ireland in times of religious intolerance. Some of those
must gone on to the USA, eg in 1770 or thereabouts many Protestants, with
money to start them off in the New World, or from 1820, when millions of Irish
left as a consequence of the potato famine , and who had little beyond what
they wore, all swelled the population of the USA. So what I want is someone
to produce a Latto or a Latta who arrived on your shores and let me have some
details, such as name, place of birth or marriage. Places are very important.
I can search through parish records very closely and have quite a few families
who faded from the records in these times, some to be convicts, some to be
"indentured servants", and some who just went overseas.

Thank you

Alev
