Message Board Post:
For those seeking factual information regarding Richard A. Hiatt (son of Agnes Amundsen),
I feel it necessary, as his daughter, to inform you of errors in one of the ancestry pages
here owned by a half sister, who has not known him in the later 2/3 of his life as I did.
First. Richard A. Hiatt was not married to an Edith Alice in the 1980's, 1990's,
as she stated. (If the information still exists on her page). Richard A. Hiatt was married
to Maxine Buser. I knew Maxine personally. She passed away in the mid 1980's and went
by the nickname 'Maxie'.
Since it was his longest and happiest marriage I feel it's worth noting.
I have also been in touch with Ms Hansen who has been doing research on Edith Alice and
confirms she has not located Richard Hiatt connected by marriage, but rather a Jason
Hiatt.
Richard's only surviving grandchildren are my two children as well as 2 great
grandson's.
Richard (my father) Hiatt, told me we are related to Roald Amundsen (Explorer) on his
mother's side. I understood it to be an uncle or great uncle.
I feel it of most importance to keep these facts straight for anyone, including my
children and their children to maintain a factual record.
Thank you,
Vicki (Hiatt)
