I am Alta's grand daughter, by her only child Hazel Corrine Vaughan Richmond. I have recently come into possession of a box of correspondence to her from a number of friends and relatives. There are also a few photos & negatives. I think the most treasured item is a single piece of note paper that lists Susan Jane Redding's siblings & father Joseph. There is also a reference to Ira Perego in New York, probably Elvira. I have started & updated my tree with some of this info and the info re George David Perego.
I am also in the possession of photos of Alta & Hazel, when Hazel was about 10, I also have a wonderful photo of my paternal grandfather, George B Richmond & my grandmother Jeanne Trahan Richmond after whom I'm named.
The letters are wonderful & full of warmth, love, & chatty info between family members. I am even mentioned, as a baby.
If anyone is interested or has questions please feel free to respond to this thread as I am interested in contacting members of my extended family.
