Surnames: Tautges Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/jEC.2ACE/1331.1.2 Message Board Post: I have researched the Tautges line back to the 1700's. All families are from the Rhrineland area. There are many Tautges in Minn. Some spell it Toutges, which I found to be related to us. My father was born in Fond Du Lac, WI. 1889. His name was Jacob. There are many Tautges men named Jacob, Adam, Christopher, Joseph, Nicolaus and so on. Hope to hear from you. Flo Tautges Barwick
