DEATSCH is a German name. In the mid 1800s, our ancestors came to America from the province Alsace, which lies between Germany and France. Speaking the German language and practicing the Roman Catholic faith. My cousins and I are the 5th generation. There were 41 of us, with 36 surviving to become adults, 20 males and 16 females, born over a 27 year span. Six men have died and currently we range in age from 77 to 53. The majority still live in Iowa, with the rest of us scattered from Florida to California and here and there in between.
