Some of my family members have been researching our ancestry over the last 10 years and they have determiend that our family name was shortened (upon arrival at Ellis Island) from Deiss to Dise. We show a lot of our family settled in Dorchester, MA and the MA vacinity. Some of the family members moved to upstate New York. Have you run across the name Dise at all? I do not have any specific names at the moment, but I was curious to Google "Deiss".
