Surnames: Platt, Dodd, Crystel Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Wg.2ADE/183.503 Message Board Post: I am also researching the Platt family and recently recieved a death record for Mary Dodd Platt b. 1 Oct. 1880, d. 14 Oct. 1947 in Quincy, Illinois. She was married to Joseph Platt and her parents were Wesley Dodd and Sarah Crystel. I think Joseph Platt was the brother or cousin of my husband's grandfather. If you think this might fit in with your research please let me know, thanks, Jonee Platt
