 According to the
German church records, Johann Cansier is
angeblich i.e alleged to be, the person who
fathered August Heiden. Since there was no marriage
between Johann and Maria Heiden, August was given here surname.
Following the father's family back in time, we found the surname
spelled several different ways but the dates all matched. The
name spelled Kanseyer appeared to be the most common spelling so
that is the one we have chosen to use.
The earliest
representative of this family was Hinrich Burmeister
who was born in 1645 and would have been the
maternal great grandfather of Johann and great great
grandfather of August. |
