This page contains ahnentafel reports for each of my parents (Carl & Marie Kruse). There are many lines under investigation and varying degrees of documentation. If you have questions about my documentation I will be happy to share it with you but presenting it all here would make the reports 3 times larger than they already are. I hope you find something useful.
A two generation descendant report is provided for John Halford. A great many Halfords trace their line to John Halford and Nancy Dalton of Rutherford County, North Carolina, in the late 1700s. However, I am convinced that there is much confusion about relationships in this family. (ex. Nancy Dalton was actually Sally Dalton) I am convinced that John Halford's parents were John and Lucy Halford and that some of the children assigned to John, Jr., were actually his siblings. I have provided documentation with this report and I need your help to either confirm or discredit some of the assumptions I have made. Knowledge of relevant primary records would be greatly appreciated. If you want a narrative analysis of the Rutherford County Halfords, visit my "Halford: Research Report" file below. If you want information on more than 17,000 people realted to Halfords, check my link to "Halford: Southern US."
I would appreciate any additions, corrections, or verifications you can offer to my genealogy. I am happy to share what I have about the families listed.
Happy Hunting!
