| 5880 | E-mail - Date: 8/15 11:37 PM From: kathyjenks@charter.net It's been a long time since I've written and am sending blind copies to the research group, however, this one should probably be addressed to you. Am finally in the process of making a genealogy book from my grandma Alvina Kriedeman. Upon checking my old emails, found where in 2004, you mentioned you have the line back to Carl Friedrich Kriedemann born 1775 in Lindow, Mecklenburg. After checking my K riedemann's, I find the following. Gottfried Kriedeman--no birth or death date Gottfried, Marie Christine-born 1803, Luetzlow, Germany Gottfried (Sam) Kriedemann-born, 1812 Luetzlow, G. B. Germany- d.1/15/1858, Province of Pommern, Germany. m. 8/19/1840, Luetzlow, Prussia to Maria Wittstock, b. 12/24/1819, d. 5/28/1901, Union Cemetery, Jefferson, WI IS SHE (Maria Wittstock) the one that came to this country alone to raise 8 children? Seems I read this from somewhere. They did have 8 children, last one born 2/26/1857. Names were William F., August F. W., Christian F., Christian F. ( the first one died & lived only 2 months), Marie C. W., Friedrich F., Wilhelmina, Gottfroed H. The 2nd Christian F. was my great grandpa. IS IT POSSIBLE YOUR CARL FREDERICH KRIEDEMAN BORN IN 1775 COULD BE THE FATHER OF MY 1ST GOTTFRIED KRIEDEMAN FOR WHICH I HAVE NO BIRTH OR DEATH DATES? The date of 1775 could fit in with my dates of 1803 & 1812.??? On another email it was mentioned a "Gottfried Kriedeman was born before 1817 and was married to a Dorothea Wagner and that also appears it could fit in with my dates. Also, it was mentioned you have a family picture of William Friedrich Kriedeman family. Could you email me a copy, please, thank you. I have the death record of Frederich William Kriedeman that is the same as William Friedrich or one of the same. He w as born 11/21/1840, died 6/3/1924. Father was Gottfried Kriedemann, mother maiden was Maria Wittstock. Informant was Victor F. Kriedeman. Son of William Friedrich Kriedeman. I know this is quite lengthy but didn't know how else to explain myself. Thanks for all your time. | KRIEDEMANN, Friedrich Wilhelm Johann (I72164)

| 5881 | E-mail from lvardakis@mindspring.com on 7/15/2010 i'm interested in the family of Johann Samuel Heller (born Cannstatt in 1727) and the family of Carl Immanuel Heller, his son. I'm confused as to why they appear in the Feldstetten Family book because Carl Immanuel, for one, was born in Heidenheim An Der Brenz (in 1765) I've checked the FHL film for Heidenheim and indeed his name is there! And familysearch.org shows none of Carl Immanuel's children to be born in Feldstetten......although that information could certainly be in error......perhaps was Carl Immanuel pastor in Feldstetten? If so, for which years? My interest is in Wilhelm Eduard Gottlieb Heller who is our family connection!! ~Lynn | HELLER, Pastor Carl Immanuel (I1776)
