Hi all you Hennings: My gr-grandfather is Herman W. Henning, born in Pummer, Germany, on 5 May 1855 and died in Detroit, MI, USA on 9 Dec. 1933.

He married Carolina Kleinschmidt (Kleinschmit)(Kleinsmith), born in Pummer, Germany on 27 Nov 1859, died on 8 July 1936, in Detroit, MI. Marriage was on 14 (19) Nov 1880 in Wyandotte, MI, USA.

I believe that at the time of their birth Pummer was in that part of Germany known as Prussia.

They had 11 children, one of which was my grandmother, Emma Martha Adline Henning, born 30 December 1882 in Wyandotte, MI and died in MI. If you wish, I can list all her siblings later.

Can anyone make a connection? My Henning cousins are planning a reunion here in Michigan on July 21, 2001 and would certainly be delighted to hear from anyone who is related and has not received an invitation yet. Contact me by email waltandanora@earthlink.net or by regular mail at 950 North York, Dearborn, MI 48128. Hope to hear from someone. Walter Zeiler
