We live as long as we are remembered......Old Russian Proverb.

Hello to all who visit.  This site was created to help the Heinze cousins put together our family tree.  There are many builders of this site, cousins from all over the country.   Renee in California, Karen in Pennsylvania, Carol Ann, of both West Virginia and South Carolina, Frances, I forget where you live Frances!, Linda in West Virginia, and Virginia, in Minnesota.   We all found each other online.  Hopefully, more relatives will join us.

Augustus Heinze and Mary Ellen Chambers are our brick walls.  They are the first branches in our tree.  (Well, they are as far back as we can go right now.)  The last name of Heinze has been spelled many ways.  In addition to Heinze, we have found Heinz, Hines, Heins, Heines, Heintze, and of course, the huge mistake an enumerator made in one census report - Hinty!

This site will be a work in progress for a long time to come.   If you have any questions, think you might be related, whatever, please write to us.

And if you ARE related, and would like to join us in working on our tree,  PLEASE let us know.  The more heads we have working on this project, the better!

From all The Heinze Cousins, 
 WELCOME!
