Summary information about my father's side of the family (vom Saal)

This document is not yet available on line because it includes information about living individuals. If you want a copy, contact me.

This is a document I (Walter vom Saal) prepared to try to keep various information about family members and their relationships in one place. It is a Microsoft Word document. It includes:
- a listing of family members organized by family, going back to Friedrich William Heppenheimer and down to my grandchildren (7 generations).
- miscellaneous information about many of the people listed.
- additional information from several other documents, not yet entered into the main chart.
- some (but only a small portion) of the material sent by Steve Stumpp
- A bit of information on other relatives such as the Sahler family and the Pattberg family (from Steve Stumpp)
- A little bit of information about places and locations in Germany that relate to family history.

Much of the information is incomplete and some of it is certainly wrong. It needs to be better organized, with supplementary information in the second part of the document moved up and incorporated into the main chart. However, since I may never get to those things, I'm posting it as is for now.

This is a scan of a genealogical chart titled "von Heppenheim vom Saal." It shows dates from 1019 to 1688 and shows the family coat of arms. It is from a from a German book owned by Fred vom Saal, and was sent to me by him in August 2008.

Update November 1, 2011. I now have the book that contained this genealogical chart, and have begun to post a few preliminary photos of selected pages, including the page copied above. I am attempting to find out how to preserve and repair some pages of the book, which is dated 1707. The preliminary photos are shown in the Documents section of this website. Direct links:
