To All Hallmans: Hi, I'm Dick Hallman, a list member since inception, and it's been totally worthwhile reading all the comments and e-mails and seeing how widespread the Hallman family really is. I am currently living in Las Vegas with my wife Ruth and we've been here in Sun City, a retirement community, for almost six years. We're originally from No. Illinois, Aurora, to be exact and have lived in Wisconsin, California, Utah and now Nevada. We have two daughters that are living in Ventura Cty. California and five grandchildren. Our Hallmans were those that migrated to Canada in 1825 and the line was as follows: Anthony Hallman +Mary Salome Henry Hallman +Anna Maria Berson Benjamin Hallman +Elizabeth Detweiler Joseph Hallman +Susannah Clemmer Benjamin C. Hallman +Lucy Ann Eby Addison Eby Hallman +Annie Foster Watson Eby Hallman +Edith Chase Most of the information which I've assembled on the Hallmans has come from the H.S. Hallman book which he did in the early 1900's and from the Joan Hallman update of 1991, which was full of information on my grandfathers 7 brothers and 2 sisters. Our Hallman line today continues through my cousin Kenneth's two sons, Jack and Bill Hallman, who live in Indiana and Ohio. It appears that our "tree" has been pretty fully identified and we aren't looking for "lost" members. However, I would be interested in more information on my family when they were in Berlin, (Kitchener), Ont.in the 1873-1900 period. My grandfather migrated from Canada to Aurora, Illinois just before 1900 to join his uncle Jay Eby in the candy making business. He was eventually a part owner of the business which evolved into a candy and tobacco company know as Eby Youngen & Co. which he retired from in about 1945. The family consisted of my father, Watson and his two brothers, Arthur and Walter, and a sister Rhea. Now, there aren't any Hallmans left in the old home town. Best regards, Dick Hallman
