Whittet's Make Another Connection...

"I am the son of Blend Whittet, who was the son of Van C. Whittet and Elsie Roberts. I am in search of information on my family history as I know only what I listed. I did see an article by -- Doris (Whittet) Guntrum that is very interesting, I would like to find her, as she is my cousin.

"I was searching for information on my Grandfather Van Whittet - when I saw this article (below). I am interested in meeting the author as Blend was my father. My name is Van Whittet - named after my grandfather.

I am really trying to trace my family tree and hit a dead end at Van. I feel Doris may be a big help to me. Have her email me at whittet@writeme.com. I will surely reply. I am not the person who was looking for Blend, as I know where he is buried -- as I buried him. I am, however, also interested in finding Timothy the author of the small article a few years ago. I am also going to subscribe to your online news here as it is interesting and helpful. Thank you very much. Because of you I have finally got the missing links in my family tree. I really appreciate it. I look forward to Okie legacy I enjoy reading the articles. Thank you." -- Van K. Whittet - Email: whittet@writeme.com

[Freedom, Whittet and Grace Ward Smith... "Linda. I do enjoy the newsletter, coming from Freedom, I especially enjoyed the rodeo news. The old cowhand this year is my niece's Father-in-law, and I remember him well. About a year ago there was an item in the newsletter from someone looking for his father, Blend Whittet. Blend was my first cousin, I send an Email to his @home.com, but have heard nothing. @home went out of business at about that time, so perhaps my message wasn't received. I found a couple of pictures of Blend and his father Van Whittet (my fathers brother). Hopefully they still subscribe to your wonderful publication. I spent a lot of time in Alva during the late l930's and early l940's. One of my Aunts was Florence Ward. She and her husband Cliff owned property on Flynn Ave, in the same block as the mortuary. They had apartments that they rented out. Her daughter Grace Smith worked with the Chamber of Commerce, and I believe became Mayor of Alva at one time. My aunts on my mother's side were Marge Ridgway, married to Skeet, and had sons Max and Curt. The other Aunt was Gladys Updegraff. Thanks so much for all the news." -- Doris (Whittet) Guntrum"]   |  View or Add Comments (2 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
