Gentlemen:
I am doing a genealogical study of
my family who originated in Germany. I would like to inquire into
the possibilities of obtaining information about my ancestors from
records you might have available.
The ancestors I am interested
in researching are my great grandparents who immigrated to the U.S.
in 1873. Pertinent data which I have been able to gather includes
the following:Name: August Friedrich Anton Theodor Heiden
Born: 27 January 1838
Birthplace: Gr. Wockern, Germany
Occupation: Brick mason & farmer
Offspring born in Germany:
1. Heinrich 19 June 1866
2. Ernst 10 June 1868
3.
Meta 27 December 1870
Military Service: Discharge 9 November 1859
Siegel Des Bustrowschen Militair Districts
Father:
Mother:
Maria
Spouse: Elisabeth Sophie Wilhelmine Friedericka Adolphine
Knaack
Born: 3 November 1841 Birthplace:
Mamerow, Germany
Father: Ernst Johann Friedrich Knaack
Mother: Sophie Dorothea
Elisabeth Dreier
I am interested in any information about the above
named people which you might have in your files. Items such as
birthdates, names of previous generations, occupations, siblings,
etc. would be greatly appreciated. Also, any help on where to write
for such information would be welcomed.
Thank you very much.
Ralph Heiden
