Greetings Gaby! This is the first time I have seen Hellimer since I began my search in that town several years ago. Perhaps our ancestors knew one another. :o) The names I am researching in that town are Schmitt and Gury. I have been through those records many times. I would love to help in any way I can. Good luck in your research!
