Scott, I am very familiar with all the name changes except the Heiligas for which I can find no basis. I am in close contact with the European Heiligs(German, Dutch, French) but no where have any of my contacts or sources found any Heiligas family in Germany nor any name change from the correct German family Heilig name to Heiligas. Can you give me a source for any such name as Heiligas that might be connected to Johann Henrich Heilig, born June 2, 1700, the founder of the Heilig/Highley (of this there is no doubt) lines. By the way I am married to a descendant of the Highley family of Southwestern Virginia. Reid Heilig
