Need help verifying the parents of Heinrich Sigismund von der HEYDE (Prussian Colonel)

Surnames: Heyde
I'm looking for help to verify the parents of Heinrich Sigismund von der HEYDE, who was born in 1703 at Tzsacksdorf, Niederlausitz, Prussia and died 4 May 1765 at Kolberg, Germany and buried in Marienkirche, Kolberg, Germany. He fought for King Frederick during the Seven Years War and was honored many times by him as the Defender of Kolberg. Someone told me the book The Annual of the German Nobility of 1896 shows his most likely parents as Heinrich Sigismund von der Heyde (1671-about 1740), Lord of Tzsacksdorf, and Susanne von Stutterheim (1680-1722). Can anyone help me verify this relationship so I can establish this family link and discover the rest of his family?

While the Jahrbuch des Deutschen Adels (volume 1 of 1896) does list the couple you mentioned, they are only listed as parents of Johann Friedrich v. der Heyde (1703-50), who was a Saxon captain. By the information you submitted they are likely to be parents of your colonel, but the book cannot confirm it.

Hi, I am Hannah von der Heyde, so i amy be of some help seeing as ever von der Heyde in the world is related. It has been tredition in our thread of the family to call the first born child's middle name's Heinrich Sigismund, so, my brother is hence Maximillion Heinrich Sigismund von der Heyde. so the man in question "Heinrich Sigismund von der Heyde" must have some improtance. I shall have to ask my opa if i can have a look at the amily tree (it may take some time, because it goes back to 13 something apparently) but i will have a look, and there will be the most likely place i find Heinrich Sigismund von der Heyde's parents, and well, entire Family

Many thanks,

Hannah von der Heyde

Hello Hannah
Do you know if the family von der Heyde is related to the family von der Heyden? My ancestor Cordula made a great catch when she married Lothar von Metternich. Her father was Lubbert von der Heyden zu Hagenbeck

Surnames: von der Heyde, Stueven, Herrman,
My husband of 44 years is a von der Heyde. He was born in Allenau, East Prussia during WWII(1942). It is now part of Russia. Records are very difficult to get. My mother-in-law divorced my husbands father and came to the U.S. in 1953 with my husband and his older brother. My husbands father was about 20 years older than his mother. We have two sons, a grandson and a niece that carry on the von der Heyde line. I am trying to find information on the von der Heyde line. My father-in-law was Carl Freidrich Wilhelm von der Heyde, born 16 December 1900 in Stade, Germany, I only have the name of one sibling, a girl named Else, their father was Carl Ludwig von der Heyde, born 31 May 1878 in Campe Stade, Germany. You mentioned something about a "Family Tree" book. I would greatly appreciate if you could check out this information for me.
My husbands brother visited his father in Germany in the 1960s and told us of a book his father showed him which traced the family back to the 14 or 15 hundreds. I am in hopes that maybe this is the information you have.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
