  [S99] Unknown, History of the Hietpas Family, (Paper copies in Little Chute ABBR "History of the Hietpas Family"TEXT Many dates are estimated and used to develop contemporary lists. This assumes: 1) marriage & 1st birth when mother was 18 and father 20; 2) subsequent birth s 2 years apart, 3) death at 60 if born before 1900, 70 afterwards; 4) rounded to nearest decade. The dates could be a decade off or more. I hope I did not "Kill" anyone still alive. Also my father r emembered many classmates and I adjusted dates accordingly.).
