Notes:

Yvonne Mackiewicz (yvonne1955@sbcglobal.net) and Steve Dailey (scdailey@yahoo.com) both show the wife of William Helwig to be Sophia MUCK of Alsace, Germany (France). This is interesting, as their seem to be other MUCK's who also migrated from Erie County, NY to Tuscola County, Michgan...as well as possibly married into the STRIFFLER family, who followed the same route of migration.
