May we assume that all the Halls in Sutherland descend from or are related to James Hall, from the "South Country" (which we may take to be the Scottish English Border country) who became tenant of the sheep farm of Sciberscross in 1818 (he had previously been a sheep farmer in Caithness)? Very happy to be corrected. Malcolm Dundee, Scotland -----Original Message----- From: J Ronald Patrick [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 03 December 2002 14:45 To: [email protected] Subject: [SUT] Balnacoil I have an obit which says about a great uncle of mine "For a long period he followed the calling of a gamekeeper, and was in the service of Mr. I. Hall, of Balnacoil." Where is that and does anyone know who the Hall family is/was? This was in the early 1900s. Is this Balnakeil?
