Researching the HALDEMAN family who emigrated to the U.S. from Switzerland and branched Westward from Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. My line remained in Pennsylvania and settled in Schulykill County around Tamaqua (Christian and Priscilla TURNER-HALDEMAN). Specifically, Hezekiah HALDEMAN (b. 1805-1806) married Maria BOLYERT (b 1810) at LANCASTER, MARCH 1829. MARIA BOLYERT (BALLIET?) HALDEMAN. Does anyone on the list know of this woman, and can you tell me anything about her family? She may have been from LANCASTER, since she and Hezekiah married at Lancaster. These folks lived in SCHUYLKILL and eventually moved to Carbon County (Summit Hill, 1840's). Will gladly share what I have.

CERTIFICATE SUCCESS This week's tip comes from Linda Acord: "One of the ways I've gotten information about deceased ancestors is often overlooked. I recently tried to obtain an ancestor's death certificate from my local health department, and they couldn't find it. I took a chance and called the coroner's office. The staff mailed me a copy of his death certificate and autopsy report. The cost was very low-50 cents per page for the first two pages and 25 cents for additional pages. In another case, I contacted the funeral home, and received uncertified copy of the death certificate for $2." FAMILY TREE MAGAZINE
