Surnames: Hale Hail Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UW.2ADI/2081.1.1 Message Board Post: Dear Jeanine: Thanks so much for your help. I need all that I can get. I am here in Missouri because some of my ancestors stayed here and some went to California. Reuben Hail went to California in 1852 and is buried in Plainsburg, CA. I am always trying to find out who his parents were. I keep hoping that one of the descendants of Reuben in California have the documents or what ever that says who they were. So someday I will find out. You are helping me. I appreciate that. thaniks brian in springfield mo
