Family of HUBERT F. HEYING

Family Genealogy .PDF

I recently found an old picture, obviously a wedding photograph, of a couple whom I did not know. I couldn't ever remember where I had gotten the photo. Curious about the identity of the couple, I poked around a little and discovered they were my great grandparents, the parents of my maternal grandfather Hubert F. Heying. The father of grandpa was Adoph Heying, and Adolph's wife was Caroline Giesing. As I continued to investigate I came across many bits and pieces of the family stories of both.
