While looking through the early Baptismal records of Aindling I found these four births from two sets of parents. It is a bittersweet discovery knowing that these people are certainly related to me, but not knowing exactly how. I do not know if there are any earlier records available that will help, but when I visit later this spring I will try to find out. In any event, I will speak their names aloud in their Church along with all the other Helfer relatives that they must have known and loved.

I think there are two generations here.  Michael is of the same generation as my 8G Grandfather Johann and may be a brother.  George seems to be of a next generation and may be a son to Michael.  It is possible that Georg may be a son to Johann too.  Andreas appears to take over the family home in Bach as a first son might, however, I have a death record for a George Helfer in 1652 and there are no additional births for Georg and Apollonia even though the church records are still good at that time.
