His son changed the last name to have an "eau" at the end around 1900.<br />My dad was one of 65 grandkids born through the 1900's. If you are from their neighborhood in Rochester, NY name is pronounced "Yatto". <br />George W. Yattau was a civil war veteran who lost his leg (amputation) just before wars end. He could not farm anymore so opened a Billiard Hall in Carthage, NY. He moved the business in 1870 to Rochester.Terry Yatteaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603022590829982830.post-49348631561480803142023-06-02T02:59:30.873-04:002023-06-02T02:59:30.873-04:00Hello
