Hi Dave,
I hope I can help you.
Has anyone heard of Heithaefen, Hannover? Some records of mine show my
Great Great Grandfather
( Freidrich Wilhelm Lange)
was born there in 1839 and immigrated to the states in 1855.
I haven't been successful in finding anything on Heithaefen.
There is no town or village Heithaefen existing in Germany. I'm quite sure
it is confused with Heithoefen.
You can find this village close to Preussisch Oldendorf in the east of
Osnabrueck.
Your Grandfathers name was Friedrich Wilhelm Lange. It fits properly in the
area! Lange is an old German name around Hannover.
Regards
Bernd
