I am a graphics and web page designer. I've been researching my family trees on both my parents side for the past couple of years and can't believe how much I've learned. Through my web sites, message boards and of course "Ancient Faces" I've met several cousins that I never knew existed. My focus is on the Hall family of New Brunswick.

I am trying to find out who his parents were. Any help at all would be appreciated.
