Are you still looking for Feuerhelm relatives? My great-great-grandafther was William Feuerhelm. He migrated to the US from Staffelde in 1856, landing in New York on July 4th. He settled in Waukesha, Wisconsin until 1866, then moved to May's Prairie, Iowa, where he stayed until he died.

Go to http://www.genealogienetz.de/reg/BRG/neumark/index4.htm

enter 'Feuerhelm' into the name-field
enter 'Staffelde' into the field labeled 'Ort'
search

Do again, this time leave the 'Ort' empty and enter 'Soldin' into the field labeled Kreis ... that will give you all Feuerhelm in the county.


And if you want to know what that was all about, drop me a line to bc185(at)scn.org .... I am not often on these web pages anymore. Replace the (at) by @, and the email will work.
