Once approved, I will post a notice to this list. The name requested is HALL-PLUS-DNA and will focus on both Hall research and DNA issues. I seem to have been given no choice in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact me privately at [email protected] Thank you! Nel

Roberta, You can go to the HALL archives and read all the messages there. I have had to wade through many HALL DNA messages and I do not think that they belong on this list, because Rootsweb provides surname DNA lists, like I said. That is why there is to be no more HALL DNA discussion here.

Thank you, Charlotte Anne Miller Dear Ms Miller, I can understand your position on the Lisle issue. However, there are some of us on this board that can share a tremendous amount of valuable information, including information associated with HALL DNA. For those who do not want to discuss DNA, they can simply delete those messages. Any amount of information related to Hall Genealogy is valuable to some, if not all. Cutting off one's nose to spite one's face is not a wise decision. If this is your firm decision on the HALL DNA subject, you will not have to worry about me on this board.

Hello everyone, I am tired of people writing to me personally and attacking my personal integrity. I would never support anyone slandering another person on one of my lists. There is to be no more discussion on this topic of who slandered who. It is done. Let's get back to researching our HALL'S. From now on, before you attack someone else on any list, think before you hit the send button.

Denise, I don't have a Sarah or Matlida Morton in my file but I do have Morton's in my mother in laws line. Have you checked southern Indiana, specifically Hanover, Jefferson Co., This town is on the Ohio river with Kentucky a stone's throw away, although many of our Morton's stayed in Jefferson Co., other family members were known to have migrated across into Kentucky. Also the Ohio river could have been their mode of transportation to Illinois. The son in law of our earliest (in our direct line) Morton, William Wade Walker owned property known as Walker's landing and this is where the steamboats would dock. It held a "Cooper's Bar Light" on the property so the steamboats could navigate the shallow shores. Our Morton's came from Scotland and I have the ships manifest for that, that is a copy of. Don't know if this will help you but it might. Roberta Hall ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 8:47 AM Subject: [HALL] John P.

Roberta, I have been following the list mail and also only received the same messages you have mentioned. I don't understand; RootsWeb supports DNA discussion on surname lists. I think the admin, Charlotte has opened a can of worms and is making a big mistake. I am interested in all genealogy regarding the Hall surname, including genetic genealogy. It is all genealogy and applies to the purpose of the Hall mail list.

Joe, Please don't unsubscribe. You have been a great deal of help and a wealth of knowledge to me as well as many others on this list.

Forgiveness is the economy of the heart... Forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits. Hannah More May I respectfully say that DNA research is as vital an issue...no it's MORE vital than historical records. It's as much a part of research as a pedigree chart these days. I have no male Hall relatives but you never know when you will find a connection to a different branch that DOES have a male line. It would greatly hamper the progress of ALL of us to remove it from allowed subject matter. Charlotte, it sounds as tho you are feeling really under fire from several directions. I don't know of any attacks against you personally but I'm sorry if you feel some of the "stuff" going on lately is directed at you. Please, sit back... take a deep breath and rethink this one. .....Dianne Larson Ward

Dear Hall list, As long as we are on to integrity issues-- I will not name names--but in the last two weeks I discovered a post on a site I'd never been to before with MY NAME at the bottom, requesting that any information on so and so be sent to me AT MY EMAIL ADDRESS! No kidding. I was flabbergasted. I was even more appalled when this particular post, which I sent to a Hall colleague, was sent back to me by her as a post which apparently appeared on the Hall list in February--signed by someone in this group, i.e., his exact post, verbatim. I was shocked! The site administrator immediately removed this post when I advised him it had not been written by me. He was as shocked as I. (This is a first for me in my long Net use. I still can't even believe someone would even do this! Why?) Let me state clearly here and now that no one on this list has the right or permission to use my name and email address anywhere on the Net, posting a message and posing as me. Totally unacceptable behaviour and I'm deeply disappointed I would have to say such a thing. So, yes, sometimes we have to be wary. Sad, but true. You cannot assume that everyone you meet on any list anywhere will have your best interests at heart, even in a world as seemingly benign as genealogy. It's your family history. Treasure it. Take care of it. If you share information try to use a pdf so they can't change it without your permission (without a LOT of retyping).

So very sorry, Charlotte! I honestly didn't know who the list manager was. Not your fault at all...it's my fault for having so many irons in the fire and not paying attention. While I'm here....is there any possibility of compiling all the wonderful advice that was given to Sharron into a FAQ for newbies? Is there a means of posting it somwhere or including it in a "welcome" e-mail to new members?? I would add to all that top notch research info that it's wise when searching a census to collect all the info on all families with the surname in that county. That saved me a tremendous amount of backtracking when I began. Also, neighbors for several addresses before and after the people you know are yours but with different surnames may later turn out to be missing married sisters, daughters, or remarried mothers of your subject. I know that one from experience. lol........dianne Message: 1 Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 14:11:10 -0800 From: "Dianne L.

Thank you Nel. I will be paying by credit card. It has been suggested that the kit be sent to someone who can assist my uncle with the process. How far back would a 37 marker test indicate?

Please excuse me for jumping in here, I have quietly been reading all the emails. My name is Debbie Hall Daugherty. My father, Byron Hall, was from Van Zandt County, Texas, and was not in the Navy. He was in the United States Marine Corp for 30 years. He fought in WWII, Korea and Viet Nam and was a recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross. He lived with me the past seven years and has just passed away. Thus my journey into trying to find information about my dad and his family. At first blush, it seems my family lines go up through a Joshua Hall in Macon County, North Carolina. He was born in Ann Arundell, Maryland in 1765. I admit I am a novice but am quite pleased with what I have discovered so far. If anyone has any information regarding Joshua Hall or his father John Hall, also from Maryland would you kindly email me? If this is the wrong forum to ask for help, please forgive my intrusion. Many thanks.
