Genealogy has become a hobby for me over the last 10 years. For me, it's like a puzzle, I love fitting the pieces together. But over the years, I've researched a lot that does not pertain to our family lines. Some for extended family, some for close friends, and some because I was trying to rule out lines to figure out where our line went exactly. I do not want these notes on my Heather's Genealogy Notes blog - because they are not our lines. But I do like to share all of my research, in case it benefits others. That is what this blog is for - research I have done that does not apply to our own family lines, but may be helpful for someone else.

 Craftsmen of Union County Bicentennial Series to be at Christkindl

Tinsmith Scott Baylor and blacksmith Bill Clemens both have made items for the Union County Bicentennial’s Craftsmens’ Series. Their work will be available for purchase at the restored Elias Church on South Fourth Street and Quarry Road during Christkindl. The special Christmas fair will be held in Mifflinburg, December 13, 14 and 15.

Scott Baylor will be inside the Elias Church between 3-9 PM on Friday December 14 and Bill Clemens will be working at his forge outside the building on all the days of the event. Mr. Baylor has done a limited edition tin berry bucket patterned after one by the late Laurelton tinsmith, Samuel Bingaman. Mr. Clemens has forged a set of marked and dated iron ladles, spoons, forks, and spatulas that can be purchased as separate items or together as a marked set.

Be sure to stop and see their wares as you enjoy the Christkindl Market.

 "Local tinsmith Scott Baylor cut, rolled, and crimped tin using patterns from Samuel H. Bingaman’s 1800 shop in Laurelton to make berry buckets.  Twelve of the limited edition of 50 were sold. "
