I am new to this listing, and wonder if I'm in the correct spot.
I'm tracing my ancestry back to Haldem, Germany. Is Haldem in this list's
area?

Hi Ginger,
The spot Haldem belonged (at least in the 19th century) to the Church of
Dielingen.
It might be that there were times when it belonged to the nearby Wehdem.
Many datas from the churchbooks of Dielingen you find in the IGI. Try:

Very interesting information about the area, including church-book-extracts
of Wehdem, you find here:
