HKMI is currently supporting a project to document the history of the descendants of John Hottel. This is an update to The History of the Descendants of John Hottel, W.D. Huddle and Lulu May Huddle, published in 1930. The 1930 book followed the descendants of 3 of John's 5 children: Charles, George and Barbara.

The New Hottel History - George Line, edited by B. Paul Huddle, 1998, has been published and can be ordered with the form on the Gift Shop page. This was an enormous project, listing nearly 47,000 names.

The New Hottel History - Charles Line, also edited by B. Paul Huddle, 2003, has also been completed and can be purchased on the Gift Shop page.

The Barbara line, likely to be the biggest of our volumes, is currently undergoing computerization.
