I am researching Frederick Heine, born in Germany. He came to the U.S. around 1881, and became a U.S. citizen in 1886. I found him in the 1900 census living in Rocky Point,L.I.,NY. He was married to Elizabeth Fuchs (from Germany) at some time in the late 1890's. They had two children: Florence,b. @ 1898 and John Frederick, b. in 1900. Frederick is listed in an old phone book from Brookhaven Twnshp in Suffolk County,L.I. as living in Rocky Point and being a farmer. Although I have no records yet of Frederick being married prior to ELizabeth Fuchs, he must have been. In the 1900 census,there are other children listed: Geo, Lizzie, Amanda,all born between 1889-1894. Since I have John Frederick's birth certificate, I know that only he and Florence are Elizabeth Fuchs' children. I can not be sure what happened to Frederick after 1900, but I found John Frederick's Military Service record listing his mother as Elizabeth Berger in the Bronx. After researching this, I see that Elizabeth, somewhere between 1900 and 1910 took John Paul Berger as a spouse or partner and they had a son, Paul Berger, born around 1908. I found a death certificate for a Frederick Heine in NYC in 1906, listing him as married, but the death certificate is signed by the doctor (not by any family member). This makes me wonder if Frederick and Elizabeth were estranged or divorced? I am not sure whether Elizabeth married John Paul Berger after Frederick Heine died (if in fact, the death certificate I have for 1906 is the same Frederick Heine. I think it is) or if they were divorced. After the 1900 census, I have not been able to find any of the other children of Frederick (Geo, Lizzie, Amanda). If any of this sounds remotely familiar, I would love to hear from you. If you have come across any of these names in your searches and can share I would appreciate it. Names I am searching: Dayton (of the Long Island Daytons), Dewar, Heine/Hein, Fuchs, Berger, Albertson.
