Thanks, Marie. If anyone would know where Anthony was born, other than the immediate family, it would be Pastor Muhlenberg, as he was the pastor of Augustus Lutheran Church at the time Anthony Hallman was a member. Clark Hallman also wrote to me that Anthony was born in Kleinniedesheim (my spelling from Germany map on Internet). Clark didn't give his source, but maybe it was the same as Marie's. Do we have any other opinions out there? I'd still like to know where the rest of the Canadian descendants received information on Anthony's birthplace? I admit that mine came from my grandfather's (H. S. Hallman's) book and it is likely he had the wrong information. Did your information come from the same source? Faith Hutchings faith@verdenet.com
