My fathers' (Daniel Jerome Diette) Father, Alfred Diette, immigrated from Canada by way of Lowell, MA but I don't know the exact date. Late 1880's I believe. Alfred and his brother moved west and ended up in Pullman, Indiana. Alfred stayed, brother went back to Canada. My grandmother used to visit him (secretly for some reason) just about once a year but we don't know his name, or why. I'm just starting my own search...good luck.
