Hopefully we can reunite these photos with the Cathcart/Larimer family members.
Leslie,
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for your excellent detective work!
Although this family is not (as far as I can tell) directly related to my own line, I agree with your guess where Thelma belongs.
I'd love to get in touch with any family members of this line to help fill in genealogical blanks.
Here's a link to Thelma's father's page on my online database:

Hello John. My name is Sidney Ira-Von Kathcart. My father was Vondal Edward Kathcart, Grandfather was Ira Manuel Kathcart and Grandmother was Verna Hedrick. my Grandfather and Grandmother is as far back as I can go. My father died in 1991 and I was very young and the fact that he was an only child doesn't help. I am mostly interested finding out who Ira Kathcart's father was and when exactly did the Kathcart's come from Scottland? If you or any-one else that reads this could help me I would Greatly appreciatte it. You may contact me at bogus311@gmail.com Thank You!
ReplyDeleteSidney,
ReplyDeleteSorry, i don't have information on your line.
Are you sure of the Scotland connection, or might it be N. Ireland (esp County Antrim)?
