Johann Dreier who was
born around 1775 in Mamerow, Germany, was the grandfather of Fredericka (Mrs
August) Heiden. Maria Dreier Roggelein was her aunt
and Dorothea Laas was her cousin.
The Laas Family
settled in Ohio near Toledo and kept a connection
with the Heidens of Monroe County. They were
instrumental in starting the Heiden Family Reunions
in the 1920s. Many of them including
Caroline (Laas)
Brown (left) and
Lucille
(Burmeister) Lehmkuhl (right) attended them even through
the 1970s and beyond.

The RootsMagic software that I use has many, many options for
displaying the information in its database. I have included a
few examples and hope to add more in the future. If you are
interesting in getting a chart or display for your particular
branch of a family, I would be glad to help you.
