The Peter Heydinger Family Website

Created by Mike Heydinger on October 1, 2009, updated in 2015      

This page contains materials submitted thus far in reference to the family of Peter Heydinger (1860 - 1953).There is not a lot of information yet, as you might notice, so come on and submit material!!!

Peter Heydinger was the first grandson of John Adam Heydinger, the first member of the family actually born in America.

Peter was raised on the Homestead north of New Washington, attended the one room school house just down the road from the Place,and farmed all of his working life until moving into New Washington in retirement.

In 1887 Peter married Rose Sheibly and between them they had nine children:

Peter lost Rose in 1917 and then took a second wife, Mary Wechter. There were no children born of that marriage.

        

KEEP THIS THING GROWING!!!

Posted by Mike Heydinger on October 15, 2009, and updated in 2015      

In order to grow this page and be more inclusive of Peter Heydinger's descendants, we need YOU to contribute materials. We need pictures, interesting family anecdotes passed down through the generations, historical facts, documents, and so n.

In order to keep all folks fully informed, we need current contact information: street addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses.

Contact your siblings, your children away from home, your folks - anyone in the relation - to email us their current contact information. Send it to me at (not case sensitive) MHeydinger@HuronHS.com.

Send us digital files if possible. If you are not computer savy and still wish to make a contribution of materials to this site, please email us and we can arrange to either come to you or have materials shipped to us for scanning and then return to you.

PLEASE - on all pictures, have each person with a recognizable face identified. If known, also indicate the year taken and place. We need Current Contact Information.

We need Family History Data.

Also, we would like to do a full page here of information on each branch of the original John Heydinger family. We will post histories of each branch, pictures as far back as we can get them, and any other interesting data about the branches - whatever YOU think ought to be up on the site. We ask you to send us digital files if possible. If you are not computer savy and still wish to make a contribution of materials to this site, please email us and we can arrange to either come to you or have materials shipped to us for scanning and then return to you.

PLEASE - on all pictures, identify each person with a recognizable face. If known, indicate the year and place the picture was taken. Protect your valuable pictures and documents with cardboard stiffeners!

We need Current Family Tree Information.

If you go to the FAMILY GENEALOGY TREE in the column to the right, you can open it by clicking on the RED words This Family Tree and locate your immediate family's limbs, branches, and twigs on the family tree.

The further back you go, the more accurate the information actually is. What we need most is more MODERN up-to-date information.

Locate your part of the family's information and update it for us, PLEASE. Email to us the new and improved data. Don't worry about formating the data. Just give us the names and important dates, tell us what generation they are in and under whose name they should go. Generation numbers are included just to the LEFT of each name.

We have begun adding marriage dates to the genealogy as well. If you have those dates and want to share them, please forward that information also. You will notice on some of the family branch pages completed so far that we have also included wedding pictures, and in those cases where a significant anniversary was celebrated, such as a twenty-fifth or fiftieth anniversary. Feel free to forward those images as well.

In order to have the NEW information included in the revised tree, you MUST get it to us. We will maintain the original document in order to guarantee security. Sorry!
