Hi All, We have a great advantage in this country provided by the research
that Robert Latta did in the 1890s through 1930s. Among ourselves, with
some active research, I think we can make a number of connections, even
though the Robt. Latta Collection didn't include most of those who stayed
with name spelling variations, such as Lattea, Latty, etc.

P.S.: If all who post are willing to put name, location, and branch number
following the message, I think we will rememberkeach other better and
probably can be of more help to each other in our correspondence. -- Just
a suggestion.
