Hi, I have a correction to make: I had listed the husband for Lutgard HEPTIG as being m. to Franz Josef HEPTIG, (it was Franz Josef HAAS that was b. 26 Apr 1816, Sendelbach, Baden, Germany).

Date: 1/16/00 5:04:53 PM EST From: Z0k1@aol.com Reply-to: HAAS-L@rootsweb.com To: HAAS-L@rootsweb.com Greetings! It's been just short of a year now since I've started my ancestral quest; I have one wonderful and gregarious great-grandfather who has never shared his family history with his grandchildren; Frank HEPTIG (b. 1869, Baden, Germany). My great-grandfather had a brother "Willie" William HEPTIG, b. abt. 1859, possibly in Tiergarten, Baden, Germany; "Uncle Willie" I have found on the New York State 1920 Census as living in Brooklyn, NY- at 305 Power Street, with his two children: Frederick age 34, Rose age 31, & a niece- Mary IMMEL, age 14. Frank HEPTIG m. Fredericka Dorothy STAAB ca. 1890-92, Brooklyn, NY. They had 6 children: Francis (Frank) -1893, Anna -1896, Joseph - 1897, Kathryn Marie (my grandmother) - 1901, Lorrotte (Loretta) - 1908, and Anthony abt. 1910 (died during infancy). Kathryn Marie HEPTIG m. Arthur REINBOLT in 1924. Now getting to the HAAS surname; During my research I discovered some HEPTIGs that lived in Tiergarten, Baden. They were Moritz HEPTIG & his daughter Lutgard HEPTIG(b. 1842, Baden), Lutgard m. Franz Josef HAAS on 23 Jan 1865, Tiergarten, Baden. Franz HEPTIG was b. 26 Apr 1816, Sendelbach, Baden, Germany & was a Grape farmer by occupation. They had 5 children of which all sadly passed away during infancy. Franz Josef HEPTIG d. on 10 Jul 1874, Tiergarten. I would love to find some type of connection between these folks and my great-uncle & great-grandfather. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance, Diana (Reinbolt) Sclafani Shelter Island, LI., NY >>
