Family Group Sheet questionnaires distributed to the descendants of Johan Hillmann and collected by A. T. Marvel, husband of Ella Hillman. It appears the information for the first first two generations was supplied by Ella Hillman Marvel and then typed, with some additional handwritten annotations. The sheets for the third generation were completed by various family members, the handwriting varying from form to form. Some of the sheets have later handwritten notes added. Based upon the dates and residencies listed the work appears to have been completed in 1955-1956.
