Hi. I live in the UK. My mother, born in the UK in 1937 had a maiden name of Hillman. Her father (Charles Frederick Hillman), born around 1896, was originally called Heilman (or Heilmann). He fought in the 1st world war using the name Hillman (I assume it was changed some time before the war to avoid any retributions). His father emigrated from Germany to the UK (they apparently were musicians) some time before 1896 as Charles Frederick was born in Sculcoates, near Kingston-on-Hull.
My mother is keen to trace the family tree and I saw your post for similar names (although this was 9 yrs ago). Anyway, if you have any info please let me know.
Best regards, Peter
