On 30 August 1883 he married Sara Redekop (19 January 1865, Russia – 29 July 1909, Nikolaipol, Russia). She was the daughter of Isaak D. Redekop (27 May 1835–10 March 1914) and Sara (Wiebe) Redekop (2 August 1836–20 April 1913). Heinrich and Sara had five sons: Isaak, Dietrich, Heinrich, David and Peter. Upon Sara's death Heinrich married her younger sister, Aganetha (Redekop) Abrams (b. 1 January 1878, Michaelsburg, Fürstenland Mennonite settlement, Russia) on 31 December 1909.
