Letters from East German Agency for Genealogy - Heiden Family of Monroe County, Michigan- Includes Rambow, Milhan, Roggerman, Getty, Knaack and Laas Families

In 1973, I took a chance and sent a letter to the genealogy agency for what was then East Germany. To my pleasant surprise, they responded to my request and I found someone to translate the letters into English. This letter deals with:

* Baptism of Sophia Dreier who married Christoph Knaack and was the mother of Friedericka (Knaack) Heiden, the wife of August Heiden.
