Gutmann Family History & Genealogy

I've managed to acquire a considerable amount of genealogical data tracking the Gutmann lineage in Bavaria back to the early 18th century, which I've not yet had a chance to post here. (If you have access to Ancestry.com you can look for the tree named "Descendants of Veiss Julius").
