Franz Xaver Hilz , 3 Dec 1838

I am searching for my great grandfather. He states he's from Selach, Baden, Germany. I located an 1877 ship manifest showing that he, his wife Agnes Werner and children all arrived to the US from Germany through the Netherlands on board the ship-Schiedam.

Dan, Thank you so much for the tips! This has been quite the challenge! I've not been too succesful regarding Germany. I think I have a correct DOB but the town he said he was from, Selach, Baden, listed on his passport, seems to be misspelled or doesn't exist. I will research the links you sent me. Linda

This may not be much help.....It lists a Franz-J Hilz on a 1875 ship manifest.

One resource you could try is the church books.
You have to know what church parish he was born in, then
look for that Parish's book and the proper year.
I found my 3rd, 4th, and 5th greatgrandfathers this way.

I would like to buy or download the 2 books written about the Hilz glassmaking family. The first one was written in 1890 by Max Hilz in Germany. The second one was written recently in the last 15 years.

Looking for info on Joseph Hilz

TonyDattilo — 2011-11-23 02:32:32Z

I am looking for information on Joseph Hilz 1918 - 1977 from Hamilton Ohio. His father was Joseph Hilz 1879 - 1944 and his mother Clara Briede 1886 - 1924. I know he had several children. My mother was his sister and he was know to me as Uncle Bussy.
I am working on the Hilz portion of our tree and would appreciate any information on the family.

Michael,

I have a slight variant of Hilz in my line.

In about 1850 John George HILS, his wife Margaret E. German, and their children left Darmstadt-Hesse and came to Springfield, Ohio.

Does this sound familiar?

I am trying to locate the family of my great, great grandmother. She was Mary Hilz. She was born September 8, 1839 (where I don't know) and died July 26, 1894 in Burnt Prairie, Illinois. She married John Haegele on July 20, 1858 and they joined the Lutheran Church in 1861.

If any of this is familiar with anyone, I would really appreciate any information. Thanks so much!

No, it doesn't, but thanks for your query. I haven't found any links with Hilz families in Hesse, Alsace, not even with the ones in the Landshut area (Western part of Lower Bavaria).
