Join us in our search for Sutter & Kaiser relatives who immigrated from the small town of Martinshöhe, located in the Rheinland-Pfalz region of Germany to the USA. The Sutters went to Chicago, Illinois and the Kaisers settled in Jefferson City, Missouri.

Franz (Frank) and Adam Sutter immigrated to Chicago at around 1888. Little is known about what happened to Adam. However, Frank left an easier trail to follow! We do know that Frank married Paulina Dorn on 7 May 1895, in Cook County. Frank is listed in the 1900 US Census as being married to Paulina and they had 3 sons; John A., Adolph, and George. They lived at
1037 Barry Ave, Chicago, IL. Eventually their family grew to include daughters Carita, Pauline, & Eva.

We do know John A. Sutter married Theresa (Idstein) and they had daughters Kathryn & Teresa.
