Denise - For what it's worth, I have, in the past, had some luck with France GenWeb. Votre service bénévole d'assistance généalogique at < http://francegenweb.org/ > where I was able to locate Réné Piatt, Jacob Pyatt, their spouses, and a few more in the line- I don't remember juat how many - listed in Piscataway, NJ, Etats Unis. I went there again, last night, and found that they have changed their format to the point of bewilderment. I bewilder easily, and you might have much better luck with it than I did. There are listings for many PIATTs, almost all in France, going back several centuries. I don't know how useful this would be for you, but it might just be worth a try, éspeciallement si votre Français est meilleur que le mien. Bonne chance. .. Ed
