there are 91 Heilmans there!

Comment by Caro Nally on July 25, 2009 at 6:56pm: Okay so I'm going to ask yet another impossible question .. how about "The Heilman Family Genealogy"? I've checked all the used book places and - again - I came up empty handed .. ugh .. why must these people only print a limited number of copies? I'm actually surprised the historical societies don't a) have digital copies just in case or b) have extra copies, either hard or digital, to sell. I don't mind going to the historical society but it's really quite difficult. DP works all the time and we only have the one car .. plus with a baby .. it's just not the easiest of things to do so it would be really nice to have my own copy so I can work at my own pace .. in the comfort of my own bed lol

Comment by Caro Nally on July 25, 2009 at 2:23pm: I put up a want-ad on Amazon .. hopefully some one will see it and respond .. I also emailed the historical society in hopes they can get me in contact with the authors .. I hope something turns up (-:

Comment by Caro Nally on July 25, 2009 at 2:07pm: Nothing there either Lynette .. Thanks for idea, though! I'd love to contact the authors but I'm not sure how to do that either

Comment by Lynette Winegarner on July 25, 2009 at 2:06pm: You might try http://www.abebooks.com

Comment by Caro Nally on July 25, 2009 at 2:02pm: Thanks for the link .. I searched Ebay to no avail .. I found it on Amazon .. out of print and not available .. ugh ..

Comment by Kate Steere on July 25, 2009 at 2:01pm: here's a link to where you can find it in libraries, but I'm not finding it anywhere where it could be purchased, maybe you could try EBay?

Comment by Caro Nally on July 25, 2009 at 1:55pm: Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the book Reamstown 240? It has a wealth of information on my family and I would love to have a copy for myself.

Thanks!!

Comment by Keith McKain on July 25, 2009 at 12:34pm: Hello,
I am interested in contacting anyone researching McKain, Riale, Erisman, Leiphart, Ulrich, Heilman, Horn, Stiely, Meyer, or Wilhelm in Lancaster, Lebanon, Chester, York or Schuylkill Counties. What I know is shown on my website (below).
Additions/corrections/suggestions are welcome. I will help anyone that I
can!
Keith

Comment by Keith McKain on July 25, 2009 at 12:31pm: Caro said "apparently Heilman is a common name there." - Check out the 1870 Census for North Annville Twp, Lebanon County (18/251) (look up Cyrus Heilman - age 22) -- on the page there are 25 Heilmans (only 40 persons on the page)!!!! Even a town nearby called Heilmandale!!
