Latham and Destaffino

It seems my great-grandfather Frederick Graham Latham was quite a character. He and his brother Elec (or Eric) were in the gold ore business and very well off for those days. Frederick became the director of the local theater and Frederick Street is named after him.

But ... he was from Scotland and it is said he returned there under stress. Also he had many families. My grandmother Lillian Grace Destaffino said she knew of 5. The name Moore comes to memory. Wish I had been more interested as a child in her sharing.

I'd to know if anyone is related to Frederick Graham Latham. My grandmother said she thought his mother was named MacDuff and that he was born in Edenbourough, Scotland. Frederick had chldren by Rebecca Ramsey and others by the other women. They used to visit each other.

Rebecca later married a DeStaffino and the children took that name.

I realize this is a very touchy subject for some and I do not approach it without descretion but rather in the common pursuit of correct information.

Thank you and look forward to hearing from anyone out there.
