Does anyone have any information on the LATTA families in Fife?

Sue,

Perhaps you could give an indication of what you already have - that will save helpful RootsChatters from duplicating searches?

Also, provide some names and dates.

Have you reached a brickwall?  If so what is it?

If you search in the IGI (International Genealogical Index) on FamilySearch at:
http://www.familysearch.org
for surname LATTA (also try LATTO?), region British Isles, country Scotland, county Fife
you wil get many many hits.

There would be no point whatsoever in anyone regurgitating, on RootsChat, lengthy lists of people from the IGI who may, or may not, be relevant for you - given that you can so easily look them up yourself  :)

ScotlandsPeople at:
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
is another excellent resource (it is a pay-per-view site but charges are reasonable).

A Google search may also be worthwhile.

Good luck,

JAP

I am the webmaster of www.latta.org and I have information on our website on "Note 13" about  Robert Latta (also seen as "Latto") and his wife Margaret Doige.  They were married Nov. 23, 1818 in Fife, Scotland.  Their children born in Fife, Scotland were Isobel, Catherine, Margaret, and Grace.  I have no other information about families in Fife, and would like to gather as much information as I can so that I can add more information to "Note 13" on Fife, Scoland and the Latta families there.  Thanks for everyones help.  I have gather a lot of census information from www. freecen.rootsweb.com on the "Latto" families from Fife.

Sue,

See my earlier reply.

I would also point out that births and marriages from the Scotland Statutory Registers, 1855-1875, have been indexed in the IGI.

I am sure you will be able to find much information about Fife LATTA families (from the IGI for a start).

Over to you to do the work  :)

Good luck,

JAP

Thanks for the offer, but I am actually updating our Latta website (www.latta.org) and I am trying to gather as much information on the Scotland Latta families as I can.  We do not put any information regarding living Lattas on our website.  I am not in a position to write to Latto families for their information at this time.
