Hi and Welcome to the Catt Family homepage! We are descendants of Michael Katz Sr. from Germany. Many forms of our surname have been used over the years. Our family is very interesting in background but as that is copyright material I will not use it on these pages. If you would like to know more you may contact me or purchase the book, "The Catt Family in America, by Dr. Cary Anderson." 

As with all genealogy projects this is a work in progress. Please don't take all of it as proven until I have time to do so. If you find any corrections or additions please contact me! My information comes from family members, census, wills, marriage and death certificate's, books, etc. Some may be conjecture as they fit no where else in the branches.

More recently my ggg-grandparents were Fort Scott, Bourbon County, KS pioneers. When the Civil War broke out Harmon and Margaret moved their family to IA. They moved back after the war and lived there the rest of there lives. The original homestead still stands and is still lived in today. It is no longer owned by anyone in the Catt family.

This research is dedicated to my grandfather of whom I hardly remember as he died when I was only about two years old. I have heard stories that his father called his mother Kitty. Her name was Grace Bernice Catt. I guess the nickname due to Kitty Catt. Many family members had nicknames as most families do. Kitty played the piano every Sunday at her church even after going blind. She is said to have played the piano by ear and not by the reading of music.
