These are VERIFIED dates sent to me by Karl-Heinz Herche. He will be sending me more information shortly. So far, these dates only cover the birth and death of Hartmann Herche (Herrche) and some ancestors. )Karl-Heinz's direct line) No, I do not have any "hard copy" available yet, but am taking the word of Karl-Heinz that they have been completely researched and verified. He is very careful about the records. I did notice that Melchior and his son Hartmann have the same death date. Hopefully further info from Karl-Heinz will tell what the circumstances were, I imagine an accident of sorts. All of these records have used the spelling HERRCHE. Karl-Heinz has found 3 spellings used for this direct line, Herche, Herrche and Herge.
