The Heintzberger and Associated Families

Although the Heintzberger name is not a common one, we have identified two branches of the family. We will label one branch as the Johannes Hendrikus(or Dutch)branch and the other as the Karel (or Belgian) branch. The known history of each branch has been identified as dating back to the 1850-1860 era. Our guess is that Karel and Johannes may have been brothers although this is a pure guess. We do know that Johannes was orphaned at an early age. Information on the Belgian branch has been provided by Rudiger Heintzberger of Sint-Niklaas, Belgium while information on the Dutch branch has been gathered by Henry Heintzberger of San Mateo, Calif., USA.

To help you identify each branch but at the same time preserve some semblance of privacy, we will list only an older generation, all of whom are now deceased.
In the Dutch branch,Johannes Hendrikus Heintzberger,( 1854-1932) born in Zutphen, Holland and his wife Gerritje Verbeek (1858-1931 settled in Doesburg Holland where they raised a family of 14 children.

We have identified their descendants in Belgium and believe that there are a few more in Australia.

A partial list of the associated families that have offspring are the Wamelinks of Holland, the Weinkaufs of Mishawaka, Ind, the Paylings of Australia, the Hambleys of Kentucky, the Loughlins of Mishawaka, Ind, the Meurs of Holland and the Crowsons of Australia and more Heintzbergers in Australia. At the present time, March14, 2001 there are Heintzbergers living in Holland, Canada, United States and Australia.
