The four main surnames in our tree are Srader (137), Odell (49), Gutowski (54) and Ouellette (63). To the right
you will see some of the other surnames that are in our tree.
The Srader surname I have followed back to Peter Shrader b. abt 1777 in Maryland. From here we believe it goes back to
Germany and the spelling of the name may change to Schrader.
The Odell surname I have followed back to John Odell b. 1805 in North Carolina. On the1850 census we find John with
4 childern and no wife. We are unsure what country this surname will take us to.
The Gutowski surname I have followed back to Alexander Gutowski b. 1886 in Gutki, Russia. We have been unable to locate
any records on him in the U.S. or Poland/Russia.
The Ouellette surname I have followed back to Godfroi Ouellet b. 1825 in Canada. From here it is a mystery. Some
say that Godfroi's father was Ben Willet who was born in France, while others say his father was Joseph Francois Ouellet
who was born in Canada.
