The earliest relative we were able to find so far in the German church microfilm records was Friedrich Heiden who was born in 1755 in the village of Nienhagen in Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany. We know that he died in 1811 at the age of 56 and that he and his wife, the former Hanna Christina Magdalena Teschenow, had two sons and a daughter.
