Thanks for answering. I have to admit I created this query under Piatt because i was looking for straws. The name is really Piatz. It is a name that originates in Germany. My gr gr gr grandparents went to Odessa region - Mannheim in very early 1800's when Catherine the Great was enticing Germans to go and work the land in that area. My gr grandfather came to North Dakota in 1909 and I have just very recently found his ship record. I could not find it before and stumbled onto it because he was registered under Pfalz instead of Piatz. I am anxious to find out from his descendants many of whom still live in North Dakota. Perhaps someone will see this message.
Email me again if this helps.
Mary
