I have researched the Johann (John) Michael Hirn family for 18 years and although I know a lot of information about him and his descendants I can't get back to his roots in Germany.

I learned learned years ago that his father is Michael Hirn and mother is Cecilia Koedel and Johann was born in Heidenheim or Nordlingen Germany but I can't get more than that. I don't even have proof that these are his parents' names.

Can anyone help me figure out how to get the German records or verify his family? I think he had a brother named Nicholas too.

Please help,
John Hirn
