WELCOME TO THE HILLMAN FAMILY COMMUNITY ON HOOSIER ROOTS

My paternal grandmother was Ella Gertrude Hillman. The HILLMAN / HILLMANN family emigrated from Mecklenburg, Germany, and Prussia in the 1860s to 1870s, moving directly to La Porte, Indiana. Here, also, you will find some information on the related HAMANN, DANKERT, EGGEBRECT, and SHUMACHER families.

My research on this line is very sketchy to-date. The majority of the information I have comes from a questionnaire that my grandfather, A.T. Marvel, created and distributed to the relatives of his wife, Ella Hillman. I was inspired to create the Hillman Community when my father recently gave me several old photographs of the Hillman family.

I hope this information helps you in your family history research and look forward to hearing from my distant cousins; email me at hillman@hoosierroots.com. To see my research on my other lines go to the HoosierRoots home page.
