I'm also Heintz 57. But my mother's family has been in America since 1729. Some say there is some American Indian (Chicoteague [sp.]) in my family tree. They settled in the Del-Mar-Va penninsula at the town of Princess Anne (a bit south of Salisbury,MD). My father's family was Scotts-Irish, and came to the US just before the civil war 1840s. They settled in Michigan. I was born in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
