For a long time, I have tried, without success, to identify the parents of my gggrandfather, Elijah Hillman Green, b. Dec. 16, 1812 (but not certain) who migrated to Arkansas from Halifax County, NC in 1845. He married Malissa E. Neville, dau. of Thos. R. Neville, on Sep. 16, 1834. I have accumulated much basic information - deeds, wills, census information, etc. but cannot say conclusively that a particular Green -of the many potentials - is his father, although I do have my hunches. I recently spent a day and a half in the Archives in Raleigh but still no answer. I will very much appreciate having recommendations from list members for a professional genealogist or a capable amateur, preferably in the Halifax area, who could take on this research project. I am more than willing to pay the going rate for good help. Thanks for any help. Norvill Jones 3568 Trinity Dr. Alexandria, Va. 22304 703-370-1910
