I always find it helpful to see a family in pictures so I have put together Family Portrait Galleries for many of the earlier generations in the families covered in this website. An individual "portrait" picture of each family member is given for the first three generations living in American. That would be August Heiden and his children and grandchildren for example.

For many people, we had actual portrait pictures but for others we had to crop individuals out of a larger group image. If you have better examples of portrait-type pictures that you would like to have included, please send me an EMAIL. Ralph Heiden
