Ottilie Johanna Maria Helfrich siblings
Hi,
My grandmother was Ottilie Johanna Maria Helfrich, FamilySearch ID LZB1-Q7Q, born 1890 in (I believe) Marburg. Her husband was Howard Todd of the US Army of Occupation post WWI. She had two sisters, whose names I am trying to determine. I think one was Else (is this Elisabeth?) Helferich (after marriage), and one was Leni (Is this Magdalene?) Steinhausen (after marriage). I do not know their birth dates or true birth names. Any insight would be appreciated, thank you.

Hello Mike, I found a civil birth record for Ottilie Johanna Marie Helfrich, for the 9 February 1890 in Marburg, Hessen on Ancestry.com. I think your best bet, is to look through the collection there, to find her sisters, and any other siblings she might have had. Here is the link to Ancestry.com.
If you cannot access it, due to your not having a subscription, you should be able to access it at a Family History Center, or your public library, if you have a library card, and they have access to Ancestry.com. Ancestry has a few suggestions for Ottilie's parents, Heinrich Helfrich and Therese. I wasn't able to access the actual record to read it, otherwise I would have let you know.

@MikeBonnoitt We are so glad you have joined our German community - It is a great place to get help and to help others! We have a lot of talented, experienced participants here.
Most of the time, it is best to use "ask a question" - do this by selecting the arrow to the right of "new discussion". Asking a question allows you to accept the answer or let us know you would like more help. (I was able to change this post to a question for you.)
Be sure to review the links at the top of our community page for some great resources. We look forward to hearing from you. We are so glad you are part of this great community!
Thanks for being patient as we sometimes must wait for a response to come from a volunteer with the needed skill set. It is always good if you include the identification number of the person in question in Family Search Family Tree so we can see the bigger picture.
We look forward to your comments and questions.
Enjoy today! Cindy Jarvis
