Listed below by generation are the direct i.e. share DNA, ancestors and descendants of the person shown above. The first four generations were all born in Germany with only August Heiden (1838-1922) (left) making the journey to America in 1873 along with his first three children, Heinrich, Ernst and Meta. Everyone else from generation 6 onward to generation 10 were born in the United States.

Generations 1 through 8 are complete from data we collected in preparation for the 1995 Heiden Family book. However, Generations 9 through 11 and, probably by now 12, are very incomplete since we have not done a major update on births for thirty years.

If you have names of individuals that should be shown on the lists in these later generations, please provide the full name of the person, the decade of his or her birth and the parents' names. If they are still living their name alone will be added to the lists with no inclusion of other specific dates or data.

Please send an EMAIL if you have names to add to the list of descendants of Friedrich Heiden.
