The
Healds/Hales and Lyfords
And Related Families
(Sorry about the car-related heading, don't know how to change the
page heading without changing all the pages)
The family history presented
on these pages is the result of several years of research, many visits to
libraries and
archives
in lots of places, and much help from other researchers.
It is offered here by Cousin Lyford Hale for the
family to enjoy,
and to assist
others in compiling their family histories. All we ask is that you please
not lift this
material word for
word, unless you also note that the source is
Lyford Hale.
These facts and suppositions were carefully compiled, but are certainly not
guaranteed to be 100% accurate. The best
advice we can offer for your research
is that you use what others supply as starting points, then make sure to verify
facts
before you accept them. Lyford admits that he did not do that when he
began several years ago, being so
excited to find
dozens of new ancestors.
Unfortunately, it turned out that some were not ancestors at all. As a result,
he is still weeding
early mistakes out of his material.
If you catch an error, please
write to Lyford directly at the address shown below. We’re especially appreciative
if
you
include notes regarding original sources, such as Federal, state or county
records, or church histories. Mail to:
