Not sure I can help out with origin of the name, but it appears we share an interest in Andrew Latue who is my 4X GG. I am relatively (no pun intended) new to RootsChat.com and genealogy and just came across your 2015 inquiry.

I discovered my connection to the Latue family while researching my Rutherford ancestors. My 2nd GG Thomas Rotherford married Catherine Latue (bn 1810), daughter of Robert Latue (1782-1847) and granddaughter of Andrew Latue (1751-1828).  It is difficult to trace the Latue lineage as there are many variations of the spelling including: Lathew, Latehew, Lattew, Lettew, Latu and in one instance Latio. My interest in the Latue name heightened when I discovered a number of Andrew
Latue Rutherford's in my Rutherford tree. I suspect this is related to Catherine's younger brother Andrew Latue (1812-1842), whose accidental death at age 30 left him without a son to carry on his name. Unfortunately, I haven't bean able to work beyond Andrew Latue (1751-1828).

I suspect that Latue was originally a French name and through countless years of phonetic spellings evolved into a few "standard" versions. Unsure of protocol for providing email addresses. Please let me know if you wish further information.

Cheers!

Hi,
If you wish to send a Personal Message, I have clicked on your name and you then have the facility to send a private message. Unfortunately, I think that you have to post a minimum of 3 posts, before this feature becomes available. So I am having to send this openly.

I am very interested in seeing your tree. Mine is public on Ancestry, if you are a member. Just look up Birchall and Hawkins Family Tree Reunited. Have you taken a DNA test as I have. That would prove a genetic connection. Catherine Latue, was my 1st cousin 5x removed. As according to the records, we both share Andrew Latue as a great grandfather then we must be distant cousins. I would love to prove this genetically.
I live with my Wife in High Wycombe, Bucks., but my father was born in Spennymoor, Co. Durham. I very much look forward to hearing from you.
Best Wishes
Bill

Hello Bill!

A lovely Canada Day surprise. Looking forward to comparing notes. I haven't posted my tree publicly yet but have been planning on doing so in the next week or two. Will let you know as soon as I do. I'm not on Ancestry.com but I may be able to see publicly posted trees. Will soon discover. My grandfather William Rutherford emigrated to Canada and I reside in Kamloops, British Columbia, with my wife and son. I have to run out to partake in the celebrations but will follow up with you in a few days via personal message. Thanks so much for your response. Happy Canada Day!

Cheers

Hi Christopher,

I do hope that we find that we are related, that would be great. My wife andI have been to Canada on Canada Day several years ago, in Jasper, and boy Do you celebrate. We had no idea it was Canada Day and had great difficulty finding accommodation. We then travelled to Vancouver via Kamloops. I remember staying overnight and having a great meal, perched on a ridge, looking down at the confluence of rivers. I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Canada Day, and look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes
Bill Birchall

Hi, I have been researching the Latue name for my husband for some years. The Latue name was given as a middle name for many years and the story was that it was in memory of a French Huguenot connection. Be happy to hear from anyone and to share information

Kind regards

Hi Cris,
I started this thread in Nov 2015 “ I have a 5x GG Andrew Latue, born in Co. Durham in 1751. His name does not sound English and I had thought that it was probably French and that the family were displaced Huguenot's. However, on looking up the name in FamilySearch, there were a number of entries from the Netherlands and particularly Amsterdam. I am ideally, looking for a Latue that died in England but was born in the Netherlands, to try to connect with my Andrew. Can anyone advise me, whether there are immigration records, going back to the 1700's, that would list entrants from the Netherlands. I have no idea, what port they would use, as there were none, to my knowledge, on the NE coast of England. Any ideas as to how I could follow this up?”.
I would be delighted to share information and look forward to hearing from you perhaps by PM,  Bill

Hi there

My husband is descended from Andrew Latue's daughter Margaret who married a Joseph Booth. It's true that many Huguenots went to the Netherlands to live but I believe the Family story that this branch began in France.

  I have them both on my tree with Margaret being my 1st cousin 5 removed. However, I have her father as Robert Latue with Andrew being his father. So Margaret would be Andrews granddaughter. Bill
