Hello Patty, I am also interested in the surname HEYL or HEIL as a side-line. I am vaguely aware a the HEIL (or perhaps HEYL) surname connection to the town of 97775 Burgsinn, which is located in Main-Spessart-Kreis, Unterfranken, Bayern (Bavaria). I have determined that Elisabeth HEIL married Johannes FLINNER ca. 1877, then immigrated to Ohio in 1879. I hope to research this area in the near future. Burgsinn has a website at: http://www.burgsinn.de Larry in Ohio ----Original Message---- From: pattycake71963@hotmail.com (Patricia Rodriguez) Date: Sat, Mar 25, 2000, 4:15pm (EST-3) To: BAVARIA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [BAVARIA] Re: BAVARIA-D Digest V00 #119 Hello list,,,Can anyone tell if the are researching the Heyl and Knecht family Line,,,,and if there is a wed site for family names that migrated from Russia to germany,,, thanks Patty in TX __________________________________
