: 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.

Rick, my family ancestors are Hutters from Gottschee so it's probable that it's the same family. I am related to Maria Hutter, who married Jakob Petschauer. Maria had seven other siblings:Johann, Jakob, Margaretha,Johann (they re-used names of those that may have died young), Mathias, Anna, Ursula. Email me if you would like more details like birth and death dates.
