The authors generalize Riemann's minimal surface by constructing an infinite family of properly embedded periodic minimal surfaces with an infinite number of (flat) ends. The symmetry is a group of translations, but the examples can be ``twisted'', so that it becomes screw motion. Conversely it is shown that a properly embedded minimal surface with more than one end and infinite symmetry group either is a catenoid, or it has infinitely many ends, and is invariant under a screw motion.
