Margaret - Several years ago I lost over 9,000 individuals with information from my genealogy database and was never able to recoup that information so I have slowly been trying to rebuild my database! The HELMS surname is one that I have not gotten back to, but I have stacks of papers on the family that I will eventually re-enter. Following are my husband's (Larry Trawick) directline HELMS ancestors. As you know the HELMS line intermarries, so there are little detours, exp. John Whitehead HELMS' marriage to Lavinia HELMS - her father Jonathan is a brother of Tilman Isaac HELMS, Sr. and the directline comes back to their joint father John Isaac HELMS. If you have corrections or additions, please let me know. Would love to see how you are connected to the HELMS Family.
