Looking for more information about Thomas Vivian Pitts Response from Robert Madsen

Hi Myrna,

Thomas Vivian Pitts is my grandfather's older brother.  My grandfather was Doyle.  He passed away in 2003.  I got the information in this tree from my grandma Florence Thomas.  She resides in Centerville, Utah.  I have scanned images from her record book of a descendants chart for Thomas Vivian and Ruth Edwards. (Which shows a "Merna" as a child of their son Howard.  I suppose that may be you?)  Anyway, I also have Family Group Sheets for Thomas Miles and wife Mary Celina Robison and both sets of parents.

I'm sure you have all that too of course.  I do have some pictures of Thomas Miles and Mary Celina.  I'd be happy to email them to you in the chance that there is something you may not have.  But, we can't send attachments through Ancestry.com's connection broker.  So if you want them just send an email to me at rmadsen@tgn.com and I'll reply to your email.

Regards,
Robert Madsen

Myrna wrtoe: I e-mail Alan all of the time. We are very close in age and we always called each other "cousin" though we were a bit more like second cousins.

Do you know that Uncle Doyle and Aunt Florence came to all of the missionary farewells and temple weddings of all of my children? I was actually at your Grandfather's funeral. My father, Howard, gave the closing prayer in the chapel. I think it was the only time he offered a public prayer. Your Uncle Alan came to my dad's funeral as did your grandmother.

I would love to have copies of your photos. I do have a copy of your Grandpa's book.

I am trying to get the Ancestry site to realize that I am Myrna not "Merna."

You do mean your Grandmother Florence Pitts, right?

Thanks, Myrna

Yes Florence is my grandmother. I actually gave a talk at Grandpa Doyle's funeral.

I'll send you the photos I have, that I scanned this summer.

I am very pleased to make your acquaintance.

We must both be in one of the photos taken after the funeral.

Thank you, so much, for all of the photos. It is appreciated. I am looking for a CD that has some snapshots my father had of your dad as a baby. I  have, temporarily, misplaced it. I am still searching and, when I find it, I will send the photos on.

Thanks again, Myrna

Regards,

Robert
