Enjoy Images of Earlier Heydinger Reunions

Created by Mike Heydinger on October 1, 2009      

This page contains images from early Heydinger reunions. The reunions began in 1916 and continued annually until 1965 when it was decided to meet as the entire John Heydinger descendants only once in every five years. The individual branches of the family, however, continue to hold their own annual reunions.

If you have any pictures from previous reunions that you would like to see put up on line in this space, please contact us. If you have identifications for members in the pictures, that is especially welcome!
