Scope and Contents

1975 November 3 Harrison says he is Nancy Fitch’s husband and met Robert at the Fitch funeral. Harrison says that his father recently married Nancy’s mother. Expresses interest in Girdler genealogy as his son is named Robert Girdler Harrison. Nancy’s brother, Lewis, gave Harrisons impressive collection of family pictures and two copies of letters written to Girdler Fitch by Reynolds Girdler describing discoveries about Capt. John Girdler and his father, Capt. Lewis Girdler. Asks if Robert has Reynolds current address to inquire if there is further research.
