That's awesome! My husband's great great grandfather, Ernest, the man who is pictured on the group page, came from Saxony. His wife's name was Maria Friderick Philippine Smith. I have no idea where the family got the name Smith, but…

I am actually a first generation American. My dad came over from Germany when he was 19. I know I still have an uncle and a cousin there. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to visit.

- That's awesome! My husband's great great grandfather, Ernest, the man who is pictured on the group page, came from Saxony. His wife's name was Maria Friderick Philippine Smith. I have no idea where the family got the name Smith, but it appears that all the children believed it to be true because it is listed as that on their death certificates.
I wish I could help with the German research, but I have no idea. I know that Ancestry.com has quite a lot of German records in their world collection.
Good Luck!

- Hi John! Always great to meet another Hellmund. Hellmund is my married name and I started researching my husband's family about five years ago. He is desceded from Ernest Hellmund, who arrived in this country around 1860. I have never researched in Germany, although most of my ancestors originated there.
I would recommend starting with a free trial membership at ancestry.com. Begin entering your tree there. It's very user friendly and in just a short time, you may discover census records that could help you add names to your tree to begin researching.
Don't limit yourself to one resource though. There are so many out there, like here at Genealogy Wise. It takes time and patience. Use message boards to try to connect with other people who are researching the same people you are. As you can see by my very small group, there aren't too many of us "Hellmund's" researching, but that can always change. I have found many Hellmund cousins over the past few years!
I would be happy to help you if I can.
