The Outten Family in America traces its origins to John and Mary Outten who in the 1680s started their family on Maryland's Eastern Shore. In this genealogy site you will find information about their descendants.

The On Line Database was last updated August 20, 2010. It contains information on approximately 3,300 individuals in the Outten family. Not all of the information has been definitively proven. Some of the information represents current hypothesis. Before you rely on the information contained on this site please contact me, Karen Stephens and I will gladly explain my reasoning and the source of the information. Out of respect for the privacy of others, information posted on this web site is generally restricted to individuals who were born before 1905 or who are known to have passed away.

After experimenting with a new format for about a year, we've reverted to a more traditional approach to posting the database.  This format has a little less flexibility but is more search engine friendly.  We welcome your comments and suggestions on how we can make the site helpful to those who are researching their own ancestory or are otherwise interested in genealogy.
