Samuel Heiman, age 35 of Philadelphia died Feb. 9, 1921 in Maxwell City, New Mexico. His remains were shipped to Philadelphia. The funeral home in Maxwell has no records for that year. The destination in Philadelphia is unknown. Have tried unsuccessfully to find a burial permit for Pennsylvania, Philadelphia in particular. Probably a Jewish cemetery. Father - David Heiman came from Russia, Mother from Austria - large family was living at 606 NE 6th Street, Philadelphia in 1910. Believe this to be a second marriage for both David and Fannie. Heiman children are Abraham, Charles, William, Michael, Morris, Lena, Ida Minnie and Blanch. Charles provided the information for the New Mexico death certificate of Samuel. Does anyone know where Samuel might have been buried or where others of this family are buried? Also if any living relations exist perhaps someone might set me in the right direction. Thank yous

Merle, They haven't filmed all the wills/adminstrations. There is a cutoff date, which I can't remember. Basically, think "new"= filmed, "old"= you have to order it. And as Claire says, they don't film all the supporting paper work. It's my impression that any will that IS filmed can be viewed "immediately", whatever the current definition of that word is that day :} jo ----- Original Message ----- From: <organizr01@aol.com> To: <philly-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 02:03 PM Subject: Re: [Phly-Rts] Orphans Court question > 1.

Hello, Could sks provide information on the current cost of a copy of marriage license, 1910. It does not need to be certified. Thanks in advance, Dorothy

The City Hall Wills Index Room has bound ledgers -- not microfilm -- that index wills and admons, from 1600s up to present. Some of these may have been microfilmed, but certainly not all. (I only use the originals, so can't provide details of the microfilm). If you're OK with looking at microfilm of the clerk's summary of the wills/admons, then by all means, use microfilm (available multiple places, including LDS and HSP). To see the full file, however, including many, many papers not summarized in the clerk's books, you have to order and view them at the Register of Wills office in City Hall. Because they are stored offsite (at the Wills Archives -- NOT the City Archives -- which the public is no longer allowed to access), you must order the file on one visit, and view the file on the next. Best case, you have several hours to kill between ordering and viewing the file; more likely, you'll have to come back on another day. On Apr 2, 2007, at 2:03 PM, organizr01@aol.com wrote: > 1.
