Hi Jerry from an Aussie Hale!

Saw your chat with Bill White (sidhalemm, Ontario.) on the FOD Forum, and thought it would be useful to make contact.

Where does your American line fit in to the equation?

I had a very worthwhile trip to the Forest of Dean last Sep 2008, primarily to follow up my research into the Hale family of Littledean. Unfortunately could only afford 2 days in an extensive schedule. Of particular interest was St. Ethelbert's church & graveyard, Littledean Prison, and direct contact with the Hales of Ruardean & Nailbridge. Hale & Co. run a most efficient and impressive Timber & Building Merchant's business and they gave me a copy of their Anniversary brochure "Celebrating 40 Years of Incorporation".

I too have attempted to connect with their line but to date without success, although I am convinced if we can go back far enough we should strike pay dirt!

Would love to swap/share info if relevant.

Chris.
