Genealogy

The Haight family - my branch of it - to the present day.. It starts in the state of New York in the 1800’s or possibly even 1700’s, and continues through Iowa, Minnesota and Washington… with a few detours in Oregon and California. There are links and graphics below… (UPDATED)


Basically, you have Sylvanus Haight born in NY in 1838. He produced A LOT of kids! Included: George Haight, Clarence Haight, Frank Haight (1868 - who had MANY children too), Althea, Bertha, Florence, Elmer Haight, Manny DeForest Haight and Bowker Haight (1884)

The Minnesota branch includes Clarence Haight, his wife Ruth, and daughters Lucille (1949), Beverly (1951) and Cynthia Ann (1953).

If you have any problems with this link let me know. You may have to join Geni.com to see the whole tree. I’m not sure. If you have a problem, I will answer any questions you may have.

Now as to the children I know about from above:
Frank produced Pearl, Raymond Haight, Harold, Joseph, Maude, Gladys, Earl Haight, Frank Haight Jr (whom I believed died in infancy (1910ish) and David Haight (about 1913). <- There MUST be children still around from ONE of these families, right? I would like to find some current family members.
Clarence Haight married Nancy Downs and fathered George Elmer Haight. George (who often went by just Elmer Haight) married Alma Gibson and fathered Stanley Gibson Haight. Stanley moved to Minnesota, Married Ruth Hennesy, and had three daughters: Lucille (1949), Beverly (1951) and Cynthia Ann Haight (1953). ..Haven't found them yet but I bet they're out there somewhere.
Elmer Haight married Jessie Meade and had a son named Clifford ..and Clifford is MY father. And I have two children; Cliff and Christa Haight.
Manny DeForest Haight produced Rollin Haight, who fathered Suzanne Haight Pittson the current Jazz vocalist star and her brother Randy Haight.

You can see that we haven't brought up most of the family lines to the present day... only Manny/Rollin/Suzanne and Elmer/Clifford/Me. THERE MUST BE MORE OF YOU OUT THERE! CHECK YOUR FAMILY TREE!

Think you might be a descendant of one of these Haights?? Comment below and tell me what you know! Any help is appreciated, as both Suzanne and myself would love to find some more cousins/second cousins etc. BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS ON THE CONTACT FORM! I will need this if I want to contact you. Your e-mail address will NOT be publicly published. Only I can see it, so it is safe.

Thank you!
