I enjoy creating digital art and have been crafting images for stickers, profiles and Civil War flags, all copyright-free for anyone to use.

Families, places and things of interest: Slovenia (when it was Austrian Empire). I have brick walls here for the parents and ancestors of Slevnik and Vodisek, who came to the USA around 1903.

  • Hutto, Huggins, Etheridge, Goodman, Pritchett families of Clarke County, AL. Also civil war soldiers from the area.
  • Slevnik and Stripling families of Illinois (Macoupin / Williamson Counties and Chicago); turn of the century and early 1900s coal mining in Williamson and Macoupin Counties.

I just got my new book by Joel Hutto that has sources never before found online. He traveled to Europe and found birth/baptism records for Isaac, among many other things. This is very exciting. The book was recently published (2024) and is titled. European Origins of the Hutto Family of Colonial South Carolina and Allied Families. Orangeburg, South Carolina: Orangeburg County Historical Society, 2024.

Prior to the publication of the book, much was speculation; he found sources!
