I have a definite interest in genealogy for early New England - direct ancestors, founding fathers of our country and LDS Church. There are a lot of records from the colonies, so it should be possible to document all settlers and their extended families.

PROCESS

 * Select Major Immigrant
 * Select Major 1880 Descendant
 * Build W-List to link the pair together
 * Build W-files for each family in between
 * EX1 : Moses Warren <--> John Warren / (Moses Warren Family Ancestry)
 * EX2 : John Bigelow <--> John Warren / (John Bigelow Family Ancestry)

Project 2012 Start tracing major lines back to American Immigration and to Europe.

Hall Great-Grandparents
1ST-SUN : Hall / Warren / Sparks / Reid -

Hall / Reid / Warren Line

 * 1) Cumorah Angus Hall (1867-1918) - Great-Grandfather
 * 2) Sylvia Jane Rackard (1874-1891) - Who is She? First wife of Cumorah. Cannot find record of parents and the dates for birth at Camp Floyd (1874) don't match up to local history.
 * 3) Samuel Badham (1815-1868) - Mormon Battalion solder and step-brother to William Wood Hall that brought the family from England to Iowa. Badham on MainTour.
 * 4) Melvina Jemima Peck (1854-1940) - Born in Salt Lake (1854) married Amazon Badham, son of Samuel. She is a direct cousin of Mormon Senator and Apostle Reed Smoot (1862-1941) - (grandchildren of G.W. Smoot).
 * 5) Taber Alberta - find obituaries for William Tracy Hall and John Wood Hall, both who died very young in Alberta, early 1900s. Both were married to Susan Nina Edwards, grand daughter to Zebedee Coltrin (1807-1887), early Mormon Pioneer
 * 6) Warenne Family Ancestry - I also enjoy learning about my ancestral lines that reach back into Midieval Royalty and beyond. They are listed here at the Project. This is from my dad's side of the family.  There is a very weak gap from Griffen Warren (d. c1333 at Woodbridge, Suffolk) to Rober Warren (b. 1485 at Nayland-Wissington, Suffolk).  It will take a special research trip to clean that up.
 * 7) Mortimer Family Ancestry - An important early line of the Warenne Ancestry
 * 8) Rebecca Towne (1621-1692) - Martyr at Salem Witch Trials - Warren Nurse Ancestry. Nurse family immigrants were prominent figures at the Salem Witch Trials - Great Yarmouth, Suffolk - (Massachusetts Colony Immigrant) (1-C.A. Hall, 2-A.J.
