RE:RE:Old Republic / First American Financial BlockChainBaystock1, All the references in the CC was to First American Title and not to First American Financial, which is the co. in the link cooperating with Old Republic. But you are the most correct. I didn't realize that FATCO First American Title is the largest subsidiary of First American Financial. So this story may be good news, we shall see.
First American traces its roots to 1889, when Orange County, California—a rural, undeveloped area at the time—split off from the county of Los Angeles. Two firms opened to handle title matters in the brand-new county. Five years later, C.E. Parker, a local businessman, succeeded in merging the two competitors into a single entity. He was named president of the resulting company—Orange County Title Company—the immediate predecessor to today's First American Title Insurance Company, the largest subsidiary of First American Financial Corporation.
