About your host
Hello Lathrop cousins!Way back in 1997 I created a Lathrop genealogy website and worked on it off and on. My goal was to put online the entire Lathrop family tree. I soon realized how large our family is and my goal became close to impossible to accomplish. And so that website languished until I discovered blogs. Blogging is as easy to do as emailing, the blog automatically organizes itself as it is updated and posting can be done in a snap.
This blog differs from my website that some of you have visited in that now you can interact and contribute to the family genealogy. Please feel free to ask a question for all to see on the Ask a Question page. Share your genealogy with our family on the Contribute a Genealogy page. If you come across a useful link leave a comment about it on the Links page.
My interest in Lathrop genealogy began when my grandfather died in 1989. He spoke about his childhood but his knowledge about his descendancy wasn't too good. And so the mystery of my family's past continued until the publisher of E.B. Huntington's book solicited for sales of his book. Unfortunately my connection to a person in the book was unknown until a genealogy discovery trip in 2000. The centuries old rumors of Asa Lathrop's (#408) connection were verified by a land deed record located only in a Vermont communities clerk's office kept on a shelf since the 1790's.
As I discover my past I have discovered that our family consists of approximently 10,000 deceased relatives and about 10,000 living relatives. Discovering the complete genealogy of the Lathrop family will be an everlasting chore. Fortunately, the internet has made genealogy research easy and I hope this blog will be helpful to you in your search. Please don't hesitate to; contribute a genealogy, or comment on a post, ask a question, or find other helpful websites, share a religious legacy or join the Lothropp Family Foundation.
At the bottom of every post is a highlighted time stamp (eg, 1:43 pm) and a link to post a comment (# comments). Click on either of these two links to leave your comment, both links lead to the page for the post. Comments made about the post appear on the post's page.
Some of you maybe aware of the L.B. Lathrop Underground Railroad house of Sylvania, Ohio. I continue to be very involved in creating the home into a museum about the Underground Railroad. Your aid is still needed in understanding the history of the home and family. In order to get the home on the National Register of Historic Places help from our family is needed. Please see the blog for the home for more details.
