Kay Scott’s notes on Sophia
Charlotte Heinrich’s family (June 2007)
Sophia Charlotte Heinrichen Butow's son Johan (my GGrandfather) was

in 1845 and another son William in 1858...but I don't have their
exact birthplaces).

(about 6 miles south from Grambow); they were married
in 1872 in Benz (about 4 miles south of Grambow)...all

Butow must have also been in that area for at least
25 years when they left in 1873. Probably too much
to hope the Heinrichs were there during that
time, too.
Their entire family emigrated to the
