Hi Listers: I subscribe to several rootsweb lists, but am new to the HALL list. If anyone is interested, here are my Hall lines: I have one for sure, and perhaps two, and would like to hear from new-found kuzzins. First, the for sure one: from George and Mary HALL of England, Duxbury, and Taunton, Mass. through Samuel 2 and Elizabeth (White), Ebenezer (3) and Jane (Bumpas), Ebenezer 4 and Hannah (___), Ebenezer 5 and Susannah (Young), George Washington 6 and Elizabeth (Burgess), and Eliza 7 and her first cousin once removed Edward Burgess. The other line: from the first that I know of: Samuel HALL, Sr., d. abt. 1792, Wilkes Co., NC and Millian (Webb), and their son Samuel, Jr.(1760-1819), who reportedly through a relationship with my 3-great grandmother Mary (Dugger) was the father of 2ggf Lawson GOODWIN. I have almost no information on the Southern family, but several sources on my New England HALLs, as well as the Rev. David B. Hall, A.M.'s 1883 "The Halls of New England." Would be pleased to do look-ups. Joe Burgess Grants Pass, Oregon

From: Harley C Rush <hcrdvr@juno.com> Hi Bill; I saw your name in your message to HALL-L@rootsweb.com, and I would like to know if you are related to Bob Grimes who married Minnie Arminda Laughlin? I am descended from John Paten Hall who married Lucretia Matilda Laughlin. I am new to the Hall-L rootsweb group and I wonder, do you have a web page for Halls?? I thought that later, I would put a message in e-mail asking to exchange information with cousins or others. More Later, Harley C. Rush 4233 Sawyer Ave Las Vegas, Nv. 89108

I thot I would share with you my reply to a subject on another List concerning the calculation of birth dates. I would like to know from the List what your practices are? The discussion arose when someone offered a simple formula to back- calculate the date of birth based upon the age in years, months and days at the time of death. That formula can best be described as the 8870 method. A gentleman named Coy sent a URL on the subject, for which see. http://enws347.eas.asu.edu:8000/~buckner/bdform.html If you visit the web site, and read the explanation about the use of dates in times past, you should then have an appreciation for the inexactitude (by current standards) of the use of dates before say, 1880. In a nutshell, it would only add to erroneous date notation to calculate back to an exact date of someone's birth from a statement of their age at the time of their death. I checked the coding used by the owner of the URL, and it is my belief that none of his algorithims will consistently yield an exact, repeat exact, calender date by today's standards either. There is a website which offers a calender "picture" back to earlier times. It too has made certain, untrue assumptions based upon modern practices of uneven days to the month in order to account for a 365 and 1/4 day year. I don't have the URL to that site. I wrote the owner, and he never replied, so I discarded the address. I wondered why my "date calculator" in my genealogy program often yielded an incorrect year. My genealogy program offers no explanation of the algorithm used for calculating dates, and apparently there are many, starting with the simplistic "8870" device and others assuming a standard 28-day month and another a 30-day month. Anyway, by luck, I decided early on to cite only the year, qualified by an "ABOUT" plus a statement for the basis of the estimate, in my genealogy, when figuring out the birthdate from year/month/day notation on records and gravestones. Even if I'm off a year in an extreme case, my error rate will be less than having cited birth dates to the day (which would imply an unwarranted precision, so it seems.) Some authors in print, without explanation, cite just the year of birth, in instances when the age at death is known. Others simply leave the birth date out. I thought it was to save printing expense. I understand better now. I also now understand why the date of "30 February, 18xx" was written in one genealogy, and why in some instances the expression "last day of (month here), (year here)" was used. In my opinion, the best that can be done with written dates is to let them stand as they are, not convert them from "Old Style" to "New Style", or from "Quaker" to "Regular", or by any other technique.

Hello, Thought there might be someone on our Hall list that would be interested in seeing the following site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txssaba/cemetery.htm There are Halls buried in the Big Uncle Cemetery and the Richland Springs Texas Cemetery. There will be more sites added later and I will try to keep everyone updated on those. Hope you enjoy. Regards Renee' Maxcey

I am still getting a large number of Hall messages that are bouncing. All bounces are sent to me which fills up my mailbox. So this message is being sent to see which addresses are still bouncing. Please do not reply. Just delete this message. If I do not receive a bounce, then I will know you received this. Thanks Bill Grimes Hall List owner

I did this for the 1990 census - It's nice to know that, should anyone in the family catch the "bug," they'll have a head start!

Haven't a clue about Celia. Married my ancestor Benjamin Smith and I haven't been able to find out anything about her. Benjamin and Celia were in Ky. by 1820, Clay co. Thanks

I was lucky! Our daughter spent a lot of time with her grandmother; one day, while looking at old pictures, she suggested that her grandmother write on the back who everyone was, and she did. It sure helped when going through them after she died. I suggested the same to my aunt (on my Hall side) and she did the same thing. She still has them -- at 89 she is still going strong! But we did have one old album on another branch of the family that had absolutely nothing written.
