This is a long shot but I am looking for any information on John and Maria Hutter who owned a farm at or near Gottschee. They had three sons, John who inherited the farm, and Frank and Joseph (Josef?) who were brought to the U.S. and reared as citizens of the U.S. by an aunt. Frank is my great grandfather--he joined the army and became a career soldier...marrying Mary Virginia Shields in 1901 (lived in California). I am sorry I do not have more definitive dates.
