Hi Hall; I just have to tell you my experience I ask an Uncle for my Grandmother and Grandfather Mother and Father. His mother was a Hall, his dad mother was a Hall, he told someone I was getting to personal. About Two years later I ran across some one on line, and I knew that he lived in the same area so I said do you know any thing about this family? He send me three pages ., and I was getting to personal..
