It is great to hear from you and i truly appreciate all of your information. Great news, I found Violet's daughters Gale and Dale. Our families have connected and Dale and her husband were actually able to attend our Shire family reunion. They were aware of Violet's biological father (my grandfather), but only knew of his name. Neither family talked about this part of our history, so we were just rumors to everyone! I am still in contact with Dale. If you'd like to forward me your e-mail or other contact information I could pass it along to her. I'll bet she would be excited to connect with her Hall relatives. My e-mail is dashire@comcast.net. If you have any pictures of Emily or Violet to share I would love to see them! Thanks again for writing! I hope to hear from you again soon Dan Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
