Although DNA will not help me as I have no know male Hall family I see no reason that the discussion should continue. All I do is go in and delete what I do not think will help me. Every once in awhile I will look to see if there may be a ink to my Hall through NC or IL that I may contact the person who contributed the posting on the list to see if they have my fmily in theirs.
