A small newspaper blip about the will of Herman Lutter led me to find his actual will, filed in Monmouth County, at the Archives in Trenton. The article referred to "the three children of his sister who lives in Germany." I wanted names and a location. I found them in the will.

| Red Bank Register, 23 July 1924 |

| Will of Herman Lutter, proved 16 July 1924 in Monmouth County, New Jersey |
The newspaper provided a few details. It is best to get as close to the original source as possible; in this case, the actual will. Herman Lutter's will names his deceased sister, Ottillia, as well as her three children: Paul, Edeline, and Anna Michel. I also received confirmation that I need to be looking in Thueringen for records.
