Judy, You will need to try the Castle Garden register rather than Ellis Island since Ellis Island was not used until much later. I have had great success with the Castle Garden site locating my ancestors back into the 1820's and 1830's. Try lots of different spellings!

I wonder if the name Spitz might be worth a try in place of Von Pitz. Long shot, I know.
