| ISSUE 33, FALL 2007 EDITORIAL Alex Latta did a lot of great thing to help our Latta Genealogy Society. He was always ready to help fellow Latta researchers find their Latta family connections. He connected with many Latta researchers outside of North America. And he thoroughly researched his own family connections. Whenever I had trouble figuring out what branch of the Latta family a newcomer belonged to, Alex was there to help. The articles he wrote for our newsletter were sharp and insightful. Also, I especially appreciate his efforts to track down the origins of the Latta name. It was an honor for me to have been acquainted with Alex Latta. So I humbly dedicate this issue of our Latta Genealogy Newsletter to our friend, Alex Latta. See Article on Alex.
