"Nutter" is actually a family name. Our grandfather was doing research and turned up loads of "Nutters", not in the direct line, but great-great-great-uncles and such.

Sounds like interesting research. What ethnicity is the name?
Our family's been researching our genealogy for the past few years, too. So far we've gotten back to I think the 16th century on my Dad's side (Norwegian) and to the period of the English Civil War on my Mom's side (Irish), though in the latter case we have some gaps to fill in between the 17th and 19th centuries. Right now my Mom's helping research a 19th-century immigrants' house that's being restored for a local historical society that's making a sort of historical recreation museum depicting Wisconsin during that period.
Hm...we have LOTS of Nutters here...prolly a good HALF of the people in the town I grew up in are either Nutters or Nutter cousins. My best friend when I was little was a Nutter.
Of course, learning the British definition of the word cracked me up...
