Birth Year 1960

[edit]

Although her birth year is sometimes given as 1970, this is incorrect. She was born in 1960. This is obvious when you realise that she was in the High School class of 1979 at the International School of Geneva (see external link). If she had been born in 1970 that would mean she would have graduated High School at the age of 8! I was in her class. [Jayne in Grade 4] (The date on the picture is the year these people would have graduated high school, not the year the photo was taken.) I am sitting on the pillar on the left. Jayne is in the second row, higher than the rest of the row, in the white dress, directly in front of the teacher, Mr Barnett. Quakerman 21:44, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

These kids looks more like they are around 7-10 years old than 19. So I guess 1970 is the correct birthyear. 85.226.118.214 (talk) 11:31, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, 10 years old in 1970, when this picture of the class that would graduate in 1979 was taken! This is the class that graduated in 1979. Are you saying that Jayne graduated highschool at the age of 10? Harry the Dog WOOF 13:41, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There has been a suggestion that the birth year is actually 1961. Does anyone have any verifiable sources for this? Harry the Dog WOOF 16:19, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Harry. Perhaps someone can find something. There weren't any references for 1960 until listed here and it was referenced to other pages after that. The school year referred matches 1961 as you know. Any help you can provide is very much appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bradmgt (talkcontribs) 17:31, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a link to the 1974 yearbook hosted on the school's own alumni website: [1] Heitmeyer appears in the bottom photo on page 62. This puts it completely into context. She would have been 4 in this photo if she had been born in 1970. So 1960 or 61 must be correct. And how likely is it that there were two Jayne Heitmeyers from Canada at a school in Geneva in the same decade. Harry the Dog WOOF 19:36, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
