The Dreier Family is related to the Heiden Family through Rika (Knaack) Heiden (left), wife of August Heiden. Her mother's maiden name was Sophia Dorothea Elisabeth (Dreier) Knaack. Sophia's sister was Maria (Dreier) Roggelein.

Sophia's daughter who was Rika's first cousin, Dorothea (Roggelein) Laas, came to America a few years before Rika and August. She settled in Monroe, Michigan and appears to have been the catalyst for the Heidens coming to Monroe in 1873.  Laas family members attended Heiden Reunions through most of the 20th century.
