[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Origin of Helwig from Plock, Poland - Russia area

[Rose Ingram]

Daryl,

Have you looked at any microfilmed church records?
If you know the birth place (and parish of baptism) of the first child it is 
possible the marriage record of Edward Helwig and Minnie Klinger, may also 
be in the same parish.  This marriage record may say where Edward was born 
and who his parents are and same for Minnie (Wilhelmina?).

> Helwig siblings (nine of them) came to America from 1897 - 1912. The
> oldest, Augusta says her last residence was Russia. I assume she refered
> to Poland - Russia, since the rest lived in Nieszawa, Bobrowniki, Plock
> and Rybit.
>
> The siblings names are: Augusta, Edward Jr, Karoline, August, Mathilda,
> Adolph G., Otto, Bertha and Emelie (Amelia?). First child born 1875.
> Actually, I have found NO info on Emelia and so I can't say for sure
> that she came over.
>
> I see that some of these place names are duplicated around the country.
> But I would bet that all the places listed above refer to the one in (or

> The 6th sibling to come over last resided in Bobrowniki and was born in
