How's your Schweigert research going? I have added more people on the other side of my tree(Feist) then I have to the Schweigert side. I was wondering if you could tell me if there is any more information on Christian Heck in the Klum Book, as to when he came to America and who his parents were.
Thanks for any clues you can give me
