To: <[email protected]> Hi List, Am going through old photos and trying to get them labeled and sorted. I came across a photo of Bud Straightiff (not sure of spelling) and wondered if anyone out there is researching this name and knows him. If so, they are welcome to the picture. All that I know about him, is that he was a family friend and they lived either next door to us or maybe a house away. This was on the road outside of Williamsburg to Hollidaysburg. There use to railroad tracks there that belonged to the paper mill. It was one of those houses that we lived in and so did he and his family. This is from my memory of when I was around four or five years old and before we moved to Ohio. I am now 70, so have really taxed my brain this time. <grin> Maxine

This is one of the many spellings of this name. I don't think there is a relationship. When I was visiting in Huntingdon many many years ago there was an article in the paper mentioning that I was one of the out of town guests at a birthday party. My name at the time was Stratiff so I couldn't imagine why they spelled it Streightiff. Now I realize there was a family with that name living there. My great grandfather was born Henry Straighthoof in Tyrone, PA, went into the Civil War as Henry Straithoof, buried his wife first wife as Mary Straitiff and lies beside here in the cemtery as Henry Stratiff. There are many other variations of this name all sounding the same.
