To be translated

Ich habe die meisten Branchen der Kutten Familie wiederaufgebaut. Alle wohnten in ein paar Doerfer an der Mosel, bis 10 KM voneinander entfernt (see map). All start with variations of the Kutten name (Kutt, Kutte, Kuttes, etc...). The older members which I define as the "Luxemburg" branch come from Bous and its neighbouring villages of Assel and Rollingen-Bous. The "German" and the "Belgian" branch originates in Nennig, Remich and Emerange. The French branch, the only one I haven't been able to link so far, originates in Elvange, before going through Apach, Rettel, Gavisse.

Der erste franzoesische Kutten

Je nach die Akten von Apach (heutzutage auf der franzoesischen Seite), gab es ain Joannes KÜTTEN, schuhmacher, mit Margarethe SIEVENER verheiratet . They had two daughters and a son born in Apach: Jakob, born 07.09.1749. They had another son, Jean Baptiste, son of Jean Baptiste, born in Ellingen in 1747 during a trip. For some reason, his wedding certificate from 22.11.1774 as Jean KUTT in Rettel (Lorraine) gives the birth date of Jacob.

Their sister Maria Kietten (daughter of the late Joannes KIETTEN, shoemaker, and of Margareta SIWENER, both married in Apach) got married in February 1786 Her second witness was Jacob Kietten of Mondorf, probably her brother. (Her first witness was Jacob Rieth of Rettel. Jean's witness in 1774 was his second cousin Jacques Ried of Rettel...)

Their mother, Margareta SIVENER, widow of Joannes KOETH, died 1784 in Apach. Her son Jacob KOETH was present.

The father is also mentioned as Johann KIETTEN, shoemaker, born in Elvingen, died in Apach, married with Margaretha SIEVENER of Apach (1715-1784). Unfortunately, the archives from Elvange have disappeared. As Joannes KUTTEN, he is also witness at his sister's wedding in Mondorf in 1748.

Woher kommt Johann KUTT/Johannes KÜTTEN / KIETTEN / KOETH, Schuhmacher in Apach?

Von den vielen KUTTEN, die in der Gegend lebten, mehreren koennten unser Johann sein:

Joes Mathias KÜTTEN geboren 02.05.1723 in Mondorf von Antonius KÜTTEN und Elisabeth MORIAUX, godparents Joes Mathias KUTTEN von Nennig und Anna Maria Moriaux

oder

Joannes KUTTEN, getauft 09.06.1721 von Mathias KUTTEN und Catharina KESSELER, godfather Joes KUTTEN

oder

Joes Peter KUTTEN, getauft 21.08.1713 in Nennig, von Anton KÜTTEN in Nennig und Catharina THORN, godparents Joes Peter Idesheim und Maria de Musiel

oder sein Bruder Joannes Theobald KUTTEN, getauft 14.04.1705 in Oemeringen

oder vielleicht

Ist dieser Joannes ein KUTTEN? (getauft 06.05.1711 in Remich)

(All this information can be found in the archives of Luxemburg. It may be useful to try to get the original ones instead of the central repertories made shortly after).

There is a bottle of Champagne to win if you find the solution to the above problem!

Assuming that all the Kutt/Kutten came from the same village of Bous, where did they come from before that? My personal hypothesis is that they may be descendants of the GU(E)TTEN families who lived around 1575 in the villages of Ehrang (also on the Mosel) and Birkenfeld, both less than 50 kms away from Bous. But, according to the latest news, the Kutt/Kutten family was already there way before 1600, probably very rich landlords...
