This is in response to Bev W. who was looking for the HECK family. I also have a HECK in my family. I have Hannah H. Heck who was born in 1852 and died 1932. She was married to William Lauer and lived in Pennsylvania. >From her obit, she had 4 brothers, Cornelius Heck of Bluefield, WV, John Heck of Sarver, PA, Conrad Heck of Pittsburgh, PA, and Philomen Heck of Cabot, PA. If this is also from your tree and I can help you more, let me know. ~Lorraine > > > > > > In a message dated 1/22/2011 4:52:51 P.M.
