Henry BALDINGER, born Dec. 10, 1818 probably in canton Aargau, Switzerland. Migrated to Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany where he married Katherine Trellig/Trilling about 1840. They had children: Henry (b. 2/19/1841), John, Conrad & Matthais (b. 3/23/1852) although family folklore says Mathias was born on the voyage to America. Henry was naturalized Dec. 1, 1854 in Crawford County, Ohio. Then they had Jacob (b. 12/28/1854), Katherina (b. 11/12/1856), Henry, Elizabeth, Margaret & Lawrence. I am looking for Swiss Baldinger who may be related & for any information as to a more precise date as to when the Baldingers left Switzerland for Hessen-Darmstadt. Thank you for any help you can offer. Dorene Baldinger-Morris
