Episode Two: Joel Hutto on European Origins of the Hutto Family of Colonial South Carolina

Is Hutto of German or French origin? At first glance, one might say German. In this episode Elizabeth had time to visit with Joel Hutto while in Organgeburg, SC attending the annual Octoberfest Family History Gathering presented by Orangeburg German-Swiss Genealogy Society.  Mr. Hutto presented a talk on his upcoming book “European Origins of the Hutto Family of Colonial South Carolina,” a work in which his research of his ancestry brought him to Germany and then France as he learned of a new Huguenot ancestor from Courcelles-Chaussy in northeastern France near Metz. Joel shares many helpful approaches to research in Germany and France.
