Hello @CJ AB. You might reach out to others who have worked on PIDs of related persons. You can find them by viewing his fan chart: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/fanchart/G8CT-YBX
On the fan chart go to some of his ancestors and view their decendancy trees. For example: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/descendancy/LHG4-LZ9

@CJ AB We understand your concern about a need to help with your uncle, Joseph Francis Helfrich, ID# G8CT-YBX. FamilySearch does help guests with their families. But you have asked a very general question: "If anyone would like to offer help in researching Joseph Helfrich and his family." You have a tremendous amount of information already showing in the Family Tree.
As FamilySearch moderators, we work best with specific questions about an specific person, such as how do I correct an error I have created for my ancestor? Or how do I add a spouse or a child? And a multiple amount of other questions.
As a member of the FamilySearch Community, your question has been posted and other Community members can help you also as they desire to do so.
Perhaps you would consider seeking help on specific ancestor such as Joseph's father, and information about where he was born so you could proceed in that direction.

Another potential source of help: Guild of One Name Studies. No one there has registered Helfrich but Helfrich does occur in a marriage with Culbert, which is a registered surname. You can contact the person who registered the surname. They may have an interest in Helfrich as well.
Go to https://one-name.org, enter Helfrich in the surname search field, click the "Marriages of the world" link, and use the form to email the registered contact person.
