I want to thank my uncle, Lee Helle, for providing permission for me to copy and paste all the hard work he had done collecting photos and data from his original website at http://helleclan.homestead.com/ into this new website http://helleclan.weebly.com/  so that future generations will know that the roots planted on American soil remains just as strong today as it did when Frederick and Katharine's children were working hard making their living to ensure their children's success.  

I dedicate this site to my uncle Lee - and all my time and love into this next step in preserving this history with the help of future generations to come.
