BIOGRAPHIE: George Helget was born 13 June 1813 to Wenzel Helget and Anna Licht, the sixth of ten children in house #13 in the village of Natschetin, Kreis Bischofteinitz, Bohemia. The farmstead #13 "Hölchat" had been in the Helget family for many generations. On 23 June 1835 George married Margaretha Heinl who was born in house #19 also in Natschetin, the daughter of Joseph Heinl and Margaretha Höger. The first child, a daughter Anna, was born on 14 December 1835. Margaretha was born 23 November 1838, Marie on 2 November 1840 and died seven days later. Joseph was born 4 March 1848, and he too died after only 12 days. Wenzel Helget was born on 1 September 1843 but in house #17 "Binna". Sometime between the birth of Joseph in 1842 and Wenzel in 1843, the George Helget family moved from living in house #13, a ratherlarge home that the Helget family had inhabited for many years, to house #17, a very small house. George is listed a "Pächter". Another son George was born on 25 April 1846. On 2 April 1847 the Helget family farmstead #13 "Hölchat" was assigned t over to George's younger brother Wenzel for 720 guldens. By Austrian law these small farmsteads could no longer be subdivided. Thus George was left a landless tenant farmer and his brother Wenzel obtained the family farm. Between 1848 and 1852 three other children were born to George and Marie, but they, too, died in infancy. the last child born was Magdalena, later known as "Lena". She was born on 14 January 1853. She was later to bear a child and immigrated to Minnesota and marry Joseph Tauer, a widower. Shortly after the birth of Magdalena Marie Heinl became ill and died of "lung infection", probably pneumonia. George was left a landless widower with a large family to support. Anna married John Pleninger from Hoslau. The children of Anna Helget and John Pleninger, Joseph and Barbara later immigrated to Minnesota where Joseph worked on and later bought the Helget farm. In 1870, Wenzel, at the age of 27, left Natschetin and immigrated to Minnesota. The father George was to follow sometime between 1870 and 1875. The youngest daughter Magdalena followed with her daughter in 1876.
