Carol: Saw your post of German Families in Racine. I have the name of Hilker in my line but don't know if there is any connection. It starts with Fredrick Hilker b 1878 in Dodge Co. He m Maybell Barr in Watertown, Wisconsin. They had eight children; Maria, Winfield, Frederick, Dora, Vera, Gladys, Clara and Margaret. Maria b 1903 and Margaret b 1922. Do you have any of these people in your line? If you would like additional information let me know, I have more information that I would be willing to share. Marcie
