I am researching the Heiss family who lived in the area of Higginsport, Ohio during the 1870-1880 time frame. Joseph and Barbara Heiss had several children - John, Joseph,Mary, Maggie, etc. I am looking for any information on this family - especially Thomas. Does this family sound familiar to anybody?
