Hi Martha,
Thank you for your response!My great-grandfather, Beshara Al Helou, emigrated from Jezzine, Lebanon in 1915 (his father was Boulous Al Helou who stayed in Jezzine).His last name was Americanized to "Elhilow" from "Al Helou" by Ellis Island officials after he arrived in the US.I know that in the Middle East towns and villages were named after the families that lived there in the past.I know somewhere down my family line, we must be linked to the town of Mashta Al Helou.
I'm interested to find out anything that you know about the town and how far your family tree goes back to.That's so exciting that you're going to visit!
Thank you,
Jennifer Elhilow
