INFORMATION FROM A DECENDANT SENT TO ME BY EMAIL
January 26 (date rec'd) 2011 , District of Columbia & elsewhere, Virginia, Florida, etc.
AWESOME! I have little information for Mildred "Rosie" Rozella Larman .. other than she is my fathers mother. I have been told that Rosie's mothers name is Ella Jack.. and my father (Jack Leitch) was named after her. He has no middle name. Rosie died in Florida 1957.. born: 1890. She was a Navy Yoemanette in WWI and is burried (on her own) in Arlington National Cemetery. I'll insert the photo of the grave marker below. Her husband and my Grandfather: Thomas Joseph Leitch was also in the Navy and also burried at Arlington National Cemetery They had three boys: Thomas Henry Leitch, Joseph Carl Leitch, Jack Leitch. Jack and his brother Thomas are also burried at Arlington National Cemetery. Jack, Rosie, ThosHenry, ThosJoseph Leitch.. sorry about the quality.. it was a very bright day but you can look them up on the Arlington National Cem. website. Here is a wedding pic of Thomas Joseph and Rosie. It is my understanding that when the Leitch's were in Ireland the surname was LEECH and then they went to England and it was both LEECH and LEACH and when they came to the US it was changed again to LEITCH. I have more info on the Leitch side than Rosies side In a message dated 1/26/2011 8:20:32 P.M.
