SIEGEL near Neustadt (Prudnik)

I hadn't been working on my grandmother's genealogy for a while. I had given up, but I will try again. Her son, my uncle, said she was born in Neustadt, which is today Prudnik. Her marriage license shows her being born in Heine (today Kolejka), which is near Prudnik. She was born in 1865, daughter of Joseph Siegel and Johanna Hettwer. Is there anyone who could give me any information, or where I could turn to get any more information about her and/or her family? You don't know how I envy those looking for a gggg grandparent! Oh, I forgot to mention Grandma was Catholic as long as I knew her and they were married in the Catholic Church in LeMars, Iowa

Bless you

Hi Florence:

I hadn't been working on my grandmother's genealogy for a while. Her son, my uncle, said she was born in Neustadt, which is today Prudnik.
Her marriage license shows her being born in Heine (today Kolejka), which is near Prudnik.

The little village Heine (today Kolejka) lies in the region of Gross Strehlitz, round 100 km away from Prudnik!

The current storage locations of the old churches and civil status books of Silesia can be found at the site:

There you see the Catholic Church for Heine was in 1865 the church of the village Gross Stanisch = Gross Zeidel (Staniszcze Wielkie) Kreis Gross Strehlitz.

The Catholic. church register 1805-1954 is available as Mormon movies:

Hi Florence

Just go to www.kartenmeister.com and look for Neustadt. About 20 researcher are looking. Write to all of them. Now the good news. In neighbouring Riegersdorf is somebody looking for Hettwer. Siegel are more common. I'm not sure about the one's in Heinen Kreis Stuhm under your email address. It's a ;long way off. I believe you made a mistake with Heine and Heinen.

Greetings from up north, with dead relatives in Dysart, Iowa.
