The
Family Tree of the Heidemann Windmillers
(deutsche Version)
It has been a very long time since I started doing
research on my
ancestors. What triggered my interest were the stories and anecdotes
that were
told by my family and relatives about my grandparents. But they never
spoke
about the persons and history before them. I was curious and started to
investigate about my ancestors. My line of ancestors came to an end
after some
time due to missing parish registers, geographic distances or
linguistic
barriers. Over the years my focus shifted to investigations on the descendants of my last known ancestor named
Heidemann. This descendant, as well as many others, worked as wind
millers in
Northern Germany which is the reason I use this profession as headline
of my
family tree. Of course no “Heidemann” works as a professional
windmiller
in our
time anymore.
This
family tree below shows
all descendants of my earliest known ancestor Johann Daniel Heidemann.
This is
not a classic family tree which only lists the male persons. Much
rather, I
noted all the children I know of and both partners in marriage. My aim
is to
find all persons named Heidemann that are descendants of Johann Daniel
Heidemann. I hope to have a complete family tree some time. The reason
for this
web page is to find the persons missing in this family tree. So, if you
can
find an ancestor of yours here that you know, but know of any of his
descendants that are missing, I would be glad to receive a message from
you.
You can write to the following E-mail address: kontakt@heidemann-stammbaum.de. Of
course it is your decision, if and which information you would like
to share. But even if you donīt want to publish any of your data I
would be
happy to share confidential information.
For reasons of privacy the descendant lines end in my
grandfather’s
generation. Exception was made with the emigrants to America because in
the
United States privacy protection ends with a person’s death. Living
persons are
– as far as I know – not listed. In case someone is listed and does not
wish to
be listed, please mail to this E-mail address: kontakt@heidemann-stammbaum.de and I will delete the entry immediately.
