Hello Chad,
On this webb-site as F Watts. Looking at his signature I think his name was Witts, not Witt.

F. Witt was listed on the US Senate list as a Trimmer. Living at St. Michael's House, Southampton.
I would assume, since he is not listed here at ET, this is either a incorrect listing by the Senate, or he actually is listed under another name here. Possibly as Trimmer F. Watts? Watts is NOT listed in the Senate list.

Hello Bill,
Snap!
What about Restaurant employee Piazzo Pompeo. On this site as Pompeo Piazza, but looking at his signature Pompeo was his surname. I'm not sure about Piazz... "o" or "a"?
What please do you have in your records?
Regards,
Lester

The https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/index.php does not show a listing for a Witt F. but the U.S. Senate Inquiry http://www.titanicinquiry.org/index.html does list a
#15 Witt, F. St. Michael's House, Southampton. Trimmer
of the Engine Department
http://www.titanicinquiry.org/USInq/USReport/AmRepCrew15.html
Has anyone else noticed it? Several on this group have emailed about the differences to me.

Thank you Bill. - Yes I aware that the Senate List has P Piazza. We know that there are errors in that List.
Hello Brian,
F Witt. Thank you. His signature is hard to read but I still believe it has an "s" on the end of it. What do you think?
Bill, Brian,
With regard to Piazza, (Piatti) Pompeo unless he signed with his surname first then according to his signature surely Pompeo is his surname? - What do you both think specifically with regard to the signature?

Lester

Hello Chad,
The name as it appears on this web-site in a transcription of the Signing-on-Sheets: Fr. Wats [Witts]
The Signing-on-Sheets are where I copied the signature from.

Hello everybody, it was quite common, as I understand it, that Italians signed with their first names where others may use last names. Pompeo is, I believe the first name, whereas Piazza (meaning 'market' or 'square') is the last name.

Hello Peter,
Thank you for that. Piazza was the only Restaurant employee that I am aware of who employed that method when signing his name.
