Hello, Hallmans, Since everyone else is posting, I guess I will, too. I am very new to genealogy and have only been researching since May, this year. I think I joined the Hallman list in mid summer, sometime. I have really enjoyed the fun I have had interacting with various groups, but most of all, this list. I have come to the conclusion that it must be a family thing!! I am also happily married. My husband is the pastor of our church, and I lead the praise and worship. When I have time, I am on this computer, looking for, and exploring my leads. We have 2 daughters, and a son, as well as 2 grandchildren. This summer I had fully intended to finish the quilt I had begun a couple years ago. Then I discovered searching for my family, and so some of my other interests have sort of taken a back seat for now. My mother has a very great desire to know who her family was. I am trying as hard as I can to get as much as possible together to put in a book and give it to her for Christmas this year. (Yeah, right, does it ever have an END!??) I have not found out as much as you all have, sad to say, about my Hallmans. When I read a few minutes ago how one of you looked for months, before you found yours, I know how you must have rejoiced, and so will I when I have found the "connection"!! Here's what I DO have: My grandmother, Agnes Louise (Hallman) Tilley. b. Feb. 17, 1909, Revere, MA. (Agnes has two brother, Henry Ernest, b. Mar 20, 1913, in Revere, Ma. and Charles Daniel, b. Aug. 5, 1915, also in Revere, MA. Mae, was the older sister, born before Agnes, and I have no information on her at all. G/Grandfather, Daniel B. (or P.) Hallman, b. ?, in South Boston, Mass. (Married to Annie Dalrymple, b. ?, in Halifax, Nova Scotia.) Am looking forward to being here and getting to know you all. Hopefully I will find that some of you are in fact, MY COUSINS! God Bless, Linda
