Thanks spending the time to check that, Arline. "Chitten" falls in the list of
spelling variations for "Chatten" the family name as spelled in Ohio and Iowa.
I myself have had zero time to spend on those other sources you provided. "When it
rains it pours", and sure enough there's been a windfall on my mother's
Prussian side. As you can imagine, that throws me into a completely different theater of
operations!
It's tough to keep oriented when the context changes so much. Fortunately I've
developed the habit of making dated copies of these types of threads so I don't lose
track of where in the world I am this week.
If I can do anything to help you at this end - especially Franco-American lookups - let me
know. Plus on my website there are some Mayflower and Adams colonial lineages, as well as
a professionally researched (not by me, in other words) connection between Charlemagne and
one of the early French families in Quebec. If you can ever establish a link to Catherine
DE BAILLON in Quebec, the rest of the work is done for you. Here's the website:

It's not really a business; I just have fun with that. All is free there.
Take care,
Ron Niquette
