The Hintz / Hinze / Hinz / Hintze Family of Woedtke and Klatkow

Throughout the history of the name "Hintz" in the area of Woedtke, Kreis Greifenberg, Pommern, pastors and family members spelled the name in various ways. In 1936, when a family history of the family of the innkeeper Gerhard Hinz of Woedtke was published in a Treptow newspaper by the Goerke pastor Dr. Bauer, the family in Woedtke spelled the name "Hinz" and in Klatkow, "Hinze." Descendants of the Klatkow family spelled the name "Hintze" in America.

Michael Hinze of Klatkow, son of Erdmann Hinz (1734 - 1831?) of Woedtke and his wife Regina Louise Knoll (1749 - 1822,) daugther of Michael Knoll and Maria Elisabeth Lentz(en) of Woedtke, was born in Woedtke in 1785. Other children of Erdmann and Regina Hinz were these:
