Hinrich Hellmers' Ancestors A pedigree chart showing three generations of Hinrich Hellmers' ancestors can be found here as a PDF file or a Word file. All available information on Hinrich Hellmers' ancestors (including information on the descendants of siblings) can be found here. These files contain sources—listed as "Notes"—for most of the data. Read about and find the sources here. The names of places used in this data are their current modern names. For example, when Hinrich Hellmers was born in Rekum, it was in the Kingdom of Hannover [Königreich Hannover]. Today it is in the German state of Bremen, so these records show that Hinrich was born in Rekum, Bremen, Germany. Occasionally there is more than one place in a German state with the same name. In these cases the district [Kreis] name is added to avoid confusion. For example, Hinrich was baptized in Neuenkirchen. Today in the German state of Niedersachsen there are at least six places named Neuenkirchen, so the Kreis name of Osterholz is added, so that these records show that Hinrich was baptized in Neuenkirchen, Osterholz, Niedersachsen, Germany. All of these place names are consistent with the naming practices of Ancestry.com.
