Susanne Heinitz-Dodge: Thank you for the very newsy letter. The Nicolaus Heinz (b1713) line that went to Straub was from Schierstein, Nassau. Your line, Gottlieb Heinze (b.1720), from what I found, came from Dresden Sachsen and went to Dobrinka, OSL family #14. The other line I found in Straub, first went to Kutter (OSL 1767) and then moved to Straub in 1788. This was Friedrich Heinz (b. 1745) in Württemberg. So far, I couldn't connect any of the three families. Maybe someone else on GER-VOLGA has had better luck. Jerry Goertzen
