I am researching my family of Schutte/Schuette/Shuter. The majority of what I have so far
are from Ripley County, IN. The earliest generation came from Bavaria or Hanover.
William Freidrich Shuette(different spellings continue to be found) b. 1844 in Ripley
County, m. Anna Ahrens and had 12 children by her before he took off to California without
them. My grandfather was Herman John Schutte, b. 1880 was in this family of 12. There
are lots of families still in the Ripley County and Decatur County area.
Adamschurch.org
has a lot of information on births/marriages/baptisms etc. for all the spellings. If any
of those on that site are related to you, then we are distant relatives. Check them out
and e-mail me at laurav(a)alltel.net if we are cousins.
