BOOKS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rev. David B. Hall, “Halls of New England”<\/a> (1883). \u00a0This is the earliest comprehensive study of the New England Halls. Many errors have been uncovered in the 125+ years since it was published, but it is still a valuable resource for someone getting started. Click on the title and you can download a copy.<\/p>\n

Robert Leo Hall, “George Hall and his Descendants” (1998). This is a major work studying the family of George Hall (c. 1603-1669) who immigrated from England and settled in Taunton, Massachusetts. This family is designated as DNA Family 024 and is known in the Halls of New England book as the Halls of Taunton. As with all large compiled genealogies, some errors exist based on evidence discovered after the book was published. This is an excellent resource for anyone studying the descendants who went to Maine in the late 1700s. This book is currently out of print. As it is in copyright, it is not available to download. However, before his death, Mr. Hall posted his genealogy on RootsWeb<\/a>. I assume that much of the contents of his book is included in this tree.<\/p>\n

If \u00a0you know of other books with significant Hall genealogies, please note them in the comments and they will be added to this listing.<\/p>\n

BLOGS<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are several excellent blogs covering research on Hall New England Families.<\/p>\n

Kathryn Hall, Halls of Bristol County<\/a>. This is an excellent study of the Hall Families originating out of 17th century Bristol County, Massachusetts. This covers primarily DNA Family 024 (Halls of Taunton) and to a lesser extent DNA Family 006 (Halls of Rehoboth). Kathryn has scrupulously tracked down and organized original records to clarify some of the mystifying secrets of these families. There is a wealth of information for people interested in these families.<\/p>\n

4 Hall Cousins Blog<\/a>. This is a continuing study of the families associated with the Halls of Rehoboth (DNA Family 006). This has family charts in addition to many research articles sorting out this large family. Recent DNA research suggests that Family 006, has sibling or cousin lines that settled in other parts of New England.<\/p>\n

Little Hall Little, Passage to the Past<\/a>\u00a0and Halls of Massachusetts and Rhode Island<\/a>. Linda is an active Hall researcher who ancestry was seriously changed by DNA testing. Based on the Halls of New England book, her family descended from a Brian Hall (b. 1727) who was a descendant of George Hall of Taunton (DNA Family 024). However, when she had male family members YDNA tested, she discovered that she was part of Family 047. Descendants of 2 sons of Brian have been tested so we know that this DNA variation is not recent.<\/p>\n

ONLINE COMPILED GENEALOGIES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below are links to online genealogies that appear to both comprehensive and well researched. We have not vetted them so, like any online genealogy, assume they are clues. Some of these are Ancestry.com Member trees, and you will need an Ancestry subscription to view them. As far as Ancestry trees are concerned, I am only listing trees that are Public. There are many excellent Private trees; however, I have chosen not to list them.<\/p>\n

If you have, or know of, other trees that should be listed, please share a link with me and I will add it. \u00a0Please note that most of the focus here has been on Bristol County originating Hall Families. This is because most of my research to date has been with these families. If you can share information on resources for the other families, I will gladly add them!<\/p>\n
