The three children of Ottillia Michel inherited under the will of their uncle, Herman Lutter, who died in 1924 in Wall Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey. They named children were Paul, Edeline, and Anna of Neuhaus, Thuringia, Germany.
In 1926, three people with the surname Michel signed releases to receive their portions of Herman's estate. Edeline and Anna had married. Paul did not sign. This was not explained. The third person who signed was Minna Michel. She will be discussed in a separate post.
Edeline signed as The Widow Edeline Vorwerk, born Michel. She resided in Grimma, Saxony, Germany. I need to trace her and any possible descendants.
Anna signed as Anna Heÿm, born Michel, in Dresden, Saxony, Germany.
Records for Dresden are available on Ancestry for this time period. I easily found Anna's marriage and death records, as well as birth records for two children.
On March 21, 1905, Anna Laura Thekla Michel married Heinrich Karl Heÿm in Dresden. Her parents were Florenz Michel and Ottilia Lutter. His parents were Friedrich Heÿm and Luisa Langbein. The record is below.

The marriage record is two pages. Note the uppercase B in the top corner, indicating that this is a marriage record. Uppercase A indicates a birth record. Uppercase C indicates a death record. (Thank you Germanology Unlocked.)
This handwriting is very difficult for me to read. I hope to develop this skill as I delve into German records. More information is on this record, such as occupations.
Below is the information provided in the index at Ancestry.
