Don't knoow if there is a connection, but my great grandmother's maiden name was
Hyronimas. Her name was Helena Emma, and she married Herman Burkett. They married and resided in Bellaire, Ohio.
On her marriage certificate, it has her last name spelt Heronamous. But on her mother's marriage certificate (mother's second marriage)
Her signature is Sophia Hyronimas. (married to Ferdinand Burkhardt on April 6, 1890 also in Bellaire - the German Reformed Church (Protestant faith)).
I keep coming up against a brick wall in trying to find Helena's father, Wilhelm. As I have about a dozen spellings of Hyronimas. The ones I've come across so far have been:
Hyronimas, Heronemus, Heronamous, Hermunous.
Anyone having any information about this part of my family...PLEASE contact me, it's very frustrating to not know where else to search.
Oh, BTW, Helena Burkett died July 16, 1932 in Bellaire, Ohio
