Cyrus Hiester, b. 17 Feb 1817, fraktur birth certificate
The April 2008 issue of NEW ENGLAND ANTIQUES JOURNAL magazine on the inside front cover pictures an ad for a fraktur birth certificate of Cyrus Hiester, son of Wilhelm Hiester and his wife Maria (nee Bentz or Bentzin), who was born 17 February 1817 in the town of Lebanon in Pennsylvania, then baptized by his father 15 April 1817. Baptism witnesses were his parents.
This fine certificate should be made known to the Hiester and Bentz families. I am scanning it in case any of the descendants might like a copy, either by email or by postal mail. Someone in the families ought to have it--it is too good to be missed by the family.
My email address can be found by clicking on my underlined name above. Please respond by emailing me directly and not by posting a reply on this genforum site, which I might not see.
If it were a birth certificate of a young Pease family member, I'd certainly want someone to do the same for me.
