Hi Judy, I saw the report you sent to Pat on the Yontzs and the mention of the marriage of two Yontz/Yonts/Younts daughters to my Helsley descendants. Would there be any further mention of the Helsleys in the Christian Co. history? I have no Christian Co. contacts but I know there are a number of Heltsley/Helsley people there. How can I get a copy of that Christian County history? The mention of Lawrence Younts having been born in the Netherlands could be important for us if : -- The Helsleys traveled with the Yontses from Rowan County, N.C. It looks like they may have. -- The Helsleys also came from the Netherlands. -- It could help better explain the origin of our name: German, Swiss, Dutch, etc.??? As you may know the closest absolute info. we have traces the Helsleys back to 1799 in Rowan Co., N.C. Whatever help you or anyone else can be will be appreciated or "much obliged" as my father, a native Muhlenberger, used to say. Ernie Heltsley/Tucson/native Muhlenberger
