Thanks Michael for your reply. I am hoping to find some other members of either family that could ultimately point me in the direction as to where they came from in Fermanagh, Ireland. That they had connected up with some part of either family, the JOHNSTON's or the HALL's that were already in Cartwright or that came over with them and stayed in Cartwright. The other Hall's I have heard of in Cartwright Twp were from County of Armagh, Ireland, and so don't think they're connnected. Maybe I'm going about it the wrong way. Any suggestions from anyone out there? Bonnie
