I thought you might be interested to know (in case you don't already) that one B.H. Hellebusch was a member of the German Pioneer Society of Covington and that the Covington library has a 25th anniversary pamphlet of said organization that has a photo of my great great great grandfather Bernard Heinrich Heving standing next to Mr. Hellebusch (as well as one other individual whom I can't remember right now). Below the photo it says (in german - the whole pamphlet is in german) "Three of the Grandfathers of the German Pioneer Society". Now the copy they have out on the shelf is a dreadful fax copy - BUT as I just discovered a few days ago, they have the original in the CLOSED STACKS and they have a color copier. The photo even in the original isn't great, but it is atleast viewable and may be a nice addition to your family history collection if you are descended from this specific Hellebusch. Mr. Hellebusch was also a sponsor at the baptism of one of the first of my ancestors children! So, they knew eachother and were obviously close. I hope you find this information useful and interesting. If you'd like more information on how to obtain a copy of that photo if you don't live near Covington, please let me know.

I believe the Hellebusch name might also be in the naturalization abstracts for Hamilton County, but I might be thinking of the wrong resource - I know I've seen Hellebusch recently in something else I was looking through. If I find out what it was, I'll let you know. ----- Original Message ----- From: <rbasha@wt.net> > Dear Listers, > The names I am researching in Northern Ky area or in the tri-state > area is: > > Atha, Athey -- Grant Co., Ky to Kenton, Ky.
