It is possible that they spent some time in England but I doubt it. Nicholas' cousin John was born in 1865 in the US. As to the name FITTEN. This was the family that Nicholas lived with on the 1880 US Census in Brooklyn after his aunt and uncle died. I wonder if he is related somehow because Nicholas' cousins are listed as nephews and Nicholas is listed as other.
