Glenn Bitting

Trisha Bitting — 27 Jul 2002 3:15:51 GMT

I am the daughter from the first marriage of a Glenn Bitting, who died in the Philippines. I have been able to gather some information on my father through the help and memory of my brother,Thurman Leo Bitting and my own searches in association with http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bitting/. I would be interested in any information or jpegs of my father and his family, immediate or distant.

I don't quite remember what my father looks like, though my mum was able to maintain a scant few pictures. They were faded and distant, like looking at someone I could know if I squint my eyes. I'm an adult now, nearing 40 and as I grow closer to the end of this chapter of my life, I feel I need to have a better connection to my father. One who died before I was able to do so on my own. I don't expect to find his life story scattered somewhere along this web or these forums. I'm just interested in a photo, a jpeg, what his favorite book or music might habe been.. I know I have other siblings out there and sometime in the future I may wish to meet them, but right now I'm just interested in any sort of tibbit on what my father was like or who he might have been.

I'd like more than a chilldhood memory, something more I could remember my father on and share with those in my life who want to know about me and my family.

The only memory that stands out in my mind is sitting on his workbench, at the age of two or maybe three, as he tried, "Tried" to fix something and the entire room smelling of sawdust and gasoline... and his laugh, not particularly hearty but comforting echoed inside the room...

I'm interested in obtaining any sort of visual information or just simple stories of my father. I am open to emailing other relatives and siblings in the future, but at this time I want to explore a connection with my father, myself and his history.

Bitting Name - Origin

Beverley Bitting — 25 Oct 2006 1:51:35 GMT

Further to my last message, I have been able to contact a 'Bitting' member in Stadt Coesfeld, Germany.

They have provided me with information that the name 'Bitting' comes from the language of the Romany Gypsies, and means 'pauper' or 'beggar'.

If anyone has any further information about the origin of the surname (further to what is already on Rich Bitting's site), please contact me.

Bitting Family in England

Beverley Bitting — 24 Jun 2006 4:53:47 GMT

I am the great great great granddaughter of Joseph Bitting, born in 1798 in Spalding Lincolnshire, as mentioned in the home page of the 'Bitting' History' website.

Further to other details held on the site concerning the origins of the Bitting surname in England and Germany, I would like to offer the folowing information.

I have come across a parish record in England, dated 1685 in which an "Ann Bitting" married "Thomas Adams". Unfortunately, there are no other links with regards to her parentage, however, this does indicate that the name existed in England during the 17th Century.

Also, the name 'Bitting' still lives on in Germany, particulary in and around 'Stadt Coesfeld', where there are 4 Bittings listed in the telephone directory. I have also come across at least two Bittings in Germany who are football players for regional teams.

If any one has any further information on the origins of the surname in England, please contact me.

Regards.

JLBURKET — 19 Oct 2005 10:37:36 GMT

NOTE: I came across this wedding announcement while hunting for an obit, in my role as the RootsWeb obituary volunteer for the Allentown Morning Call newspaper. I am NOT researching this family.

This article was printed in:
The Allentown Morning Call
Allentown, Pennsylvania
Wednesday, June 12 1895

Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock Mame, the daughter of Mrs. Susan Rose, formerly of this city, was married to Francis C. Bitting, Superintendent of Union News Company, located at Birmingham, Ala., at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Mosteller, at Slatington. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. S. Erb in the presence of members of the families, and quite a number of friends were present. The bride was dressed in an elegant cream silk dress, and the groom in a fine broadcloth suit. The bridesmaid was Miss Jennie M. Derr, and the groomsman was George H. Mosteller. The bride and groom stood before an arch of flowers as their words of promise passed their lips. After the ceremony an elegant repast was served, after which Mr. and Mrs. Bitting departed on the 5.15 south bound train to Birmingham, where they will spend their honeymoon. They were the recipients of a number of useful and valuable presents.

Information on Kenneth and Lorraine Bitting

Uwabe (Webb), Jackson — 30 Mar 2005 8:57:01 GMT

In 1967, when I was attending a high school in Guam, I was sponsored by a US Naval personnel family, Kenneth and Lorraine Bitting. Shortly after I completed my first year, the island, Bonin Islands, where I was borned was returned to Japan and since then have lost contact with the Bittings. I did received a letter from them but the letter I sent to Nebraska was returned. They had a daughter, Joan, who was about 3 at the time and I am sure they had a son shortly after. I was never able to thank them for what they have done for me. I am certain that the Kenneth (died 1985) and Lorraine on the Bitting Family list is the couple I am looking. Any information on the couple or their children is appreciated.
