Hi everyone, I'm still very new to genealogy but I'm very interested in researching my Hecht ancestors. I've been hitting some walls and am hoping some of you out there can assist me in finding all the branches to my family tree. Thanks for the help, I look forward to working with anyone willing to help.
I'm originally from IL. I know my family came from Germany but I'm not sure who or at what point. I'm also curious because everywhere I look Hecht is listed as a Jewish name but my grandfather says that we're not.
