I would like to find Robert Lathrop, who was doing genealogical research several years ago. He was looking for all the same people I am. I found many posts from him on the Family Connect pages, then they stopped. His web pages do not respond. He was also supposed to be on a Ventura Co. surname list. I have not been able to find that list. I think possibly he died. I would like to know if this person rings any bells or if anyone has any suggestions how to find him or his research or the surname list. I could post more specific information if anyone can help me. I believe this Robert Lathrop to be a product of my grandmother's first family, a cousin to me. My father was from her second family. I believe neither family knew about the other. I do not believe the first (Lathrop) children were raised by either parent, but I can't find out what happened to them or to my father's family. My dad claimed to be raised in and out of orphanages in Portland. He finally lived with a foster family that I knew. His mother died in California, I don't know why. This is a much fractured family that I would like to try to put back together. Loreen Wells loreenwl@open.org
