My 7th Great Grandfather Valentin Zirfas was born and died in Helferskirchen. His daughter Anna Catharina Zirfas (my 6th Great Grandmother) was also born in Helferskirchen. Collateral ancestors of the Hober and Zirfas family branch were born and died in Helferskirchen. In addition, members of the Ramm family branch also lived in Helferskirchen.
Helferskirchen has a population of about 1100 people. It is north of Wirges, northwest of Staudt and northeast of Dernbach. Helferskirchen is 34.3 kilometers and 25 minutes from Koblenz. So it is an excellent place to start visiting my German ancestral home towns.
