My family has been trying to trace Michel Volkert. We believe he was born
about 1777. He died in Heckfeld, Germany on December 6, 1849. He was
married to Anna Margaretha Volkert. I don't believe any of us know her
maiden name. She was born about 1785, and also died in Heckfeld on
September 13, 1855. Their son, Johann Franz Volkert, we believe, was born
about March 24, 1808. He married Maria Eva Heck on November 6, 1842 in
Heckfeld. He died on November 24, 1869 also in Heckfeld.
Maria Eva Heck died on March 13, 1818 in Heckfeld. Their son, Franz Joseph
Volkert was born on February 25, 1849 in Heckfeld.
He was married about 1873, to Barbara Teresa Theobold, who was born in
Baden Baden, Germany on December 6, 1851. We're not sure of the year, my
great uncle changed the date on the death certificate. She died in
Dayton, Ohio on April 24th, 1934. We believe Franz died about 1898. It's
a little unclear on how and when they immigrated, met and married.

Johan Georg Heck was married on June 18, 1817 to Amalie Gressin Greb in
Gerlachsheim, Germany. Their daughter was Maria Eva Heck.

We don't really know anything about them, or where to start. Does anyone
know where the heck Heckfeld is? I haven't found on any of my maps. I'm
not to sure about Gerlachsheim either.

Thanks, John (Hal) Volkert or Hal V@aol.com
