Hello Tobias

Vielleicht. I have found the name spelled at least 4 different ways, including the one you suggest. I always assumed the "mire" part was spelled more like "meier" because I know enough German to know it wouldn't be "mire". But the problem with
English is it often inserts a syllable in words, so Hilimire with the middle "i" was also suspect. I have also seen for other lines "Heilmayer". I would love to locate Anson. It might help to know all the German possibilities for matches with the
anglicized form.
