User Home Pages: Before & After Harvey Earnest Hale & Elaine Waites-Hale

My Hale research has been very successful.I have met and spoken to new cousins and visited family never met before.I thank those of you who have made this journey the best undertaking of my life and hope that many more family shall be uncovered.
The first tree -My Maternal Line- exists because of the unbelievable commitment of two women, Loretta Kanellos and Paulene Van DerVolgen.They have spent some 30 years collecting, researching, documenting and publishing the history of the Pettit and Woodworth families.Not to be overlooked are their husbands Gus Kanellos and Bob Van Der Volgen. Their love and devotion to their wives and families have led them thru courthouses, parishes, cemetaries (to name only a few) in most of the 50 states and at least 2 countries.To these gentlemen, Thank You.
I am currently researching the Law side of the family.Should anyone out there be able to contribute a lead or first rate knowledge regarding them, let me know.If anyone has a story, legend or tale of adventure to add to this page, I beg of you to do so....afterall, the names without the stories do not tell who the people were.
Thanks,
Beth Ann Hale
