She specializes in memoir writing and has done a history of her family. <br /><br />She'd likely be able to give you more information about Lattas in Canada http://www.allysonlatta.ca/ <br /><br />I know that someone in her family, I think it was the Latta side, settled in Fortier Manitoba which is near Portage. <br /><br />I did a quick newspaper scan the first Portage Latta mention I see is that of an Elizabeth Latta of Portage marrying a farmer Daniel McGibbon in 1903. That could be part of your Latta clan ? A William Latta, Elizabeth's father I beleive, died a few years later but his obit makes no mention of what ethnic background he was.Christian Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691310860448400887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-55163342783886535162011-09-26T21:19:59.524-05:002011-09-26T21:19:59.524-05:00Very interesting.
