For Robin, Oh, by all means, make the acquaintance of the Canadian Piatts by any spelling who are researching the name. They may have cousins still in FRANCE! Or at least be able to translate French, an invaluable asset when the research jumps the pond. -- Laverne Ingram Piatt Ontario, OH

I have spoken with the woman whose last name is Piette and convinced her to start her own research on her line--she has never attempted previously. Her father lives in Western Ontario and is one of 13 children. She knows there were at least the last 5 generations of Piette's in Canada and her family legend says that they immigrated directly from france (no stop in NJ first!) so we will see what we can find out. She also says she is pretty sure there was another spelling in previous generations and promises to find out what that was. Her mother was a Gerrard and has been researching that family for some time so maybe we can get some help from her as well.
