There are a lot of conflicting sources of info on John Helton b 1763/64 and his two wives. The Helton info on my web site is as good as I have found in 22 years of research but needs to be confirmed with original sources that I have been unable to get or find. Bobbie the numbers I used on the website are ahnentafel numbers. If you are not familiar with ahnentafel, go to: http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/lesson3.htm#GEDCOM Ahnentafel. This is a German word meaning ancestor table. It is an efficient way to organize a pedigree for it creates a continuous list of ancestors instead of chart. It is particularly useful when corresponding with another genealogist because it allows him or her to see immediately where your genealogical research ends and also where your family and his or hers might have common ancestry. Many genealogy programs will create an Ahnentafel-style genealogy report for you. Note that if you double a number it gives you the father of that person; double the number, plus one, and you have the name of the mother. Go to my web site and see what I have on Helton/Hilton under addition to my pedigree chart. Bad health has kept me from adding to my website but I will share anything I have as health allows. I hope that with other descendants of John & Barbara or Mary, we can verify our family lines. Best Wishes, Leon Morris http://users.beanstalk.net/rokadane/morris/
