My Mom was kind enough to keep these memories to be handed down. Unfortunately, paper was never meant to be handed down. The scrapbook literally falls apart a little more each time I touch it. So I've decided to scan as much as I can and what I feel is pertinent, so that everyone will have access to them, and hopefully with today's mediums, they will last for many, many more generations to enjoy. If you'd like to contribute, please email what you have, and I'll put them on here to share also. Although this web page started out to be just Mom's scrapbook, I've come across a lot of other pictures and mementoes, and a lot were given and emailed to me that I think have to be shared, and the page continues to grow. There are more pictures and mementoes of me here simply because I have more of me than anyone else. Any picture on these pages can be enlarged by clicking on it, and saved to your computer by right clicking on the enlargement. You may reprint anything on this page for genealogy purposes, however nothing on this page may be copied for the purpose of making money. Be sure to visit all of the links, or you may miss something important about your Hellyer ancestor. Also, please sign my guest book and if you'd like to leave your email address so others can contact you, please do so there. Enjoy, Thanks for Additional Contributions to: |

FAMILY NOMENCLATURE
Many people, upon hearing of someone who is a cousin once removed, or perhaps a second or third cousin, are left unsure exactly how they and that person are related. Though the naming conventions can seem confusing and redundant at first, they are actually quite simple once you take the time to learn the reasoning behind them.
The term removed in the context of cousins refers to generations. Any children your aunt and uncle have are your first cousins. If your first cousin has a child, then that child is your first cousin once removed--that is, one generation removed from your first cousins. And if that once removed cousin has a child, that child will be your first cousin twice removed, and so on. A second cousin is different from a first cousin once or twice removed. If you have a cousin who has a child and you have a child, your children and your cousin's children are second cousins. Genealogists have a formula for labeling these familial relationships: First cousins share the same grandparents, second cousins the same great-grandparents, and third cousins the same great-great-grandparents.
