I am looking for the bmd details of the above as I am hoping to trace his ancestry further back. I know from US immigration records that he was a fur trader. He is listed in 1910 and 1911 Leipzig Directory as trading and living in the Brühl, Leipzig. His son Edgar (b 15 Sep 1911) emigrated to London and his son Heinrich to the USA (b 2 Jun 1914). I have information after their emigration. I think Edgar married Helene Schul.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello,

On 14 Dec. 1910 the merchant Heinrich Hepner, Sedanstraße 1a, married Helene Schlesinger at Standesamt (registry office) Leipzig I No. 1530/1910,
see attachements.

The Arolsen Archives have two cards for Heinrich (b 7 May 1878) and Helene Hepner (b 9 Jul. 1892), fur trader, Schlegelstr. 15.
A notice at the bottom of Heinrich's card says, that he had been in London since September 1935.
