This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Heinemann Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ZVC.2ACE/2494.1 Message Board Post: Louisa b 1817 is my husband's grandmother (too many g's to count). She married Robert Marsh Jr. They lived in Crosby, Norwich Twp, McKean County, PA. I copied a great deal of Heinemann info from a handwritten document in the Smethport Historical Society (McKean Cty, PA). Much of it is similar to what you wrote in your post, although there are differences in birth dates. It said in this document that the father of Louisa, Catherine, Chrisopher, William, and John was Kasper Heinemann. I saw a reference that said John Heinemann some place too. They came from Duderstaadt, Hanover, Germany. Since I will be in Germany soon, I wondered if anyone had more information about Duderstaadt. When I did a mapquest search, 2 came back - back are within about 100 miles of Hanover. I realize that Hanover was a whole country/kingdom back then, so the reference to Hanover may be to the area, no the city. I am willing to share what I have. Please contact me if you're interested (by responding to this e-mail). Thanks, Lynnette
