On This Date in Minnesota History: November 28

November 28, 2003 – “DNA evidence [confirms that Minnesota native and American Aviator Charles] Lindbergh, who made the first solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean, had a secret, second family in Germany with a Munich hatmaker, Brigitte Hesshaimer. Anton Schwenk, a spokesman for the family, announced [today] that DNA tests, conducted by the LMU Institute in Munich, had established a 99.9 percent likelihood that the most famous US airman of the 20th century was the father of Dyrk Hesshaimer, David Hesshaimer and Astrid Bouteuil. [This information] puts a considerable dent in Mr. Lindbergh's image as a wholesome family man. He and his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, had six children together during a 45-year marriage.”
