Hi,
My name is Michael A. Thompson, Grandson of Arthur Tutas, Great Grandson of Adolf Tutas. I am not sure where to start as I am so excited it is hard to type.
My mother, Judy(Tutas)Thompson called me last week to tell me that my uncle Art Tutas(Jr) called to tell her he found some information about the Tutas clan on the internet and it was posted on Ancestry .com. Sure enough there it was. Was I surprised that when I expanded the thread I found a response to an inquiry which I must have made over a year ago.

To Michael A. Thompson. I've checked with my family. Those are my ancestors, too. We've got the documents you are searching for. I suggest that you contact my Aunt at
bunsworth@masonwells.com She has all this information and would be interested in sharing. My grandmother was the youngest of their children and lived to be quite old so we do know something. And apparently, the were not German but born in Poland from the records we have.
I have been looking for information about Adolph for some time. Currently I have a letter and Christmas card sent to my mother from her Aunt Caroline in 1994. It is a summary of the life of Gust Tutas (1891-1959): Brother to my grandfather Art Tutas and son to Adolf Tutas.
The information states that (as of 1994) Gust's parents were Adolphus [German] and Caroline(Soper) Tutas [Latavian} subjects to Russia. They immigrated to the USA in 1893, when Gust was two years old and settled in Pound, WI. Gust became a citizen on September 30, 1916 at Marinette, WI. Gust had five sisters; Augusta,Ida, Sadie, Emma, and Ella and four brothers, Otto, Henry, Arthur (my Grandfather), and Eddie. The rest of the information deals with the Gust's children.
I pray that you receive this information and are able to respond with additional details. I would post a reply on Ancestry.com, but am no longer a member. Perhaps if one of you are you could post this for others to share.
Sincerely,
Michael Arthur Thompson
