Your question was written many years ago and you may have the information you need by now. However, My father's sister was Henrietta Pauline Hecht named for her maternal grandmother, in Baltimore. Her father was Manes Emanuel Hecht (1862-1926) of Baltimore. I believe my aunt's grandmother Henrietta was married to Emanuel Hecht who probably came to Baltimore from Westphalia, Germany, possibly as early as 1820-25.
If you think this is the same family, please let me know: strong ties to Chizuk Emunah in Baltimore.
