Heyen of Iowa & Reepsholt, Germany 19th Cent.

My maiden name was Robin Heyen and my paternal grandfather was Clarence Edward Heyen (1898-1964). Clarence lived in Langworthy, Iowa and operated a General store.

His father, who would be my great grandfather, was John Heyen born somewhere around 1866 near Reepsholt, Germany and immigrated to the States at about 18 years of age. He married Matilda Scheer and they had "4" children: Mary,Hans,Henry and Clarence. John lived in Langworthy, Iowa as well until his death in 1953. I would appreciate any "PHOTOS" of Clarence Heyen and/or his father,John Heyen, that was born in Germany. Also, I would like to know the name of the ship that John Heyen of Germany came to the States on when he was about 18 yr's of age. Did John Heyen have any siblings or relatives that immigrated over with him as well?
John Heyen (about 1866 to 1953). Any additional info on the parents of John Heyen in Germany, who would be my great, great grandparents, would be appreciated as well. -Robin

Heyen of Iowa & Reepsholt, Germany 19th century

My maiden name was Robin Heyen and my father's name, who is now deceased, was Robert Donald Heyen (Sept.-15-1922 to Feb.-12-1981).

My father's father, which would be my paternal grandfather was Clarence Edward Heyen of Langworthy, Iowa (1898-1964)

Clarence's father, who was my great grandfather, was John Heyen born sometime around 1866 in Reepsholt, Germany. He immigrated to the United States at about the age of "18" and married Matilda Scheer. They eventually settled in Langworthy, Iowa and operated a General Store. John Heyen passed away in 1953.

I would like to get information as to what "ship" John Heyen came over to the States on and if he had any siblings that immigrated with him as well or any male relatives that came over either prior to or after him. Any info on John Heyen's parents back in Germany would be appreciated as well. They would have been my great, great grandparents. Thank you, Robin
