Abstract:

Notes, charts, correspondence, and other genealogical records prepared by Harold W. Hein in the 1950s and 1960s in order to document his ancestry and qualify for membership in the Sons of the American Revolution. Completed genealogies include charts and relate to the Trenchard, Bowen, Stevens, Townsend, Van Ness, Sonn, Funk, and Hein families, all of whom were early immigrants to Wisconsin (1840s) and several of whom had American roots dating back to the Colonial era.
