Meet the Researcher
Hello and thanks for visiting!
My name is Doug Latsch and this is the beginning of my look
into the past and my personal search to find out where my family came from.
This webpage of family history was created, primarily, as a
way for me to share what I’ve found with my immediate family but also to offer
this information to any other researcher that may be looking for a surname in
my index(please contact me!). For
anyone that’s looked into his or her own family history, especially if you’re
immediate family is as small as mine is, you know the challenges and
frustrations that I’ve encountered along the way. When I started looking into my ancestry in August 2006, I
imagined I’d be at it for a couple of weeks…yeah right!
At this point, I consider myself little more than a novice
genealogist and in no way claim to know the best methods or resources for
finding information, nor do I profess to say that I’ve been the most organized
researcher. My method and
direction has mostly been governed by fancy or interesting facts I seem to
stumble into once in a while, most of which are the result of an unassuming
email, a post to a mailing list, or the simple generosity of a fellow
researcher. My interest and
dedication ebbs and flows, taking the form of obsession during those brief and
very rare “Eureka!” moments.
I’ve tried not to include any information that is without foundation and have tried to confirm data through at least two independent sources before including it here.
My thanks to:
My grandmother, the last and
oldest living source I have to my own family, who’s memory of dates and people
is absolutely astounding!
My father, for giving me his
scrapbook to confirm my findings on the Evans family in Ohio and others bits I
would have missed.
My wife’s cousin, Jaki, for
providing almost all of the Brennan family data.
My beautiful wife for indulging my finds and trying to act excited as I
am when I explain some recently uncovered scrap of history, no matter how
small.
…and last, but certainly not
least, a special thanks to Robert Bradley and http://www.ancestors-genealogy.com/
for their generosity in allowing me to share this content.
Please check back for updates as I’m constantly uncovering
new facts or updating old ones!
Also, please email me with any comments or suggestions.
Thanks!
Doug
