Cotts, was born and raised in Menomonie, Dunn County, WI. As far as I have been able to find out, the Cotts in Dunn County come from two related families whose surname was originally Kaatz and who immigrated from Germany circa 1870. (I am working from memory so e-mail if you need more precise info). Regards, Doug Cotts
