Information concerning the Hales, Hailes, connected to the line of decent you have provided here is scattered throughout the internet. Owing to the sheer numbers people working on this project the growth and accuracy of the body has been increasing almost exponentially. It is perhaps more visible to me since I have not looked into it for a number of years. However, although people are doing very good work there is a need for more consolidation and networking. People talk about getting original document but if these have been posted I have not found them. There is a link to Harvard which lists much about the Kings Walden manor of the patriarchs. BTW I think I am going to show up some time and demand a room. Even if we did sell it to them we deserve that much. I would like to look around and see if they have been taking care of the place. I am not a scholar by any means. My uncle was but I do not know what he found out. He knows all of it now however, having passed on. BTW my particular branch diverged after Nicholas II. We had the good fortune to be related through Thomas Haile to the Chenoweth family who has of the most extensive data bases anywhere. We are related to them in a number of ways. Thomas himself married his first cousin. I am glad we left the gene pool when we did. Seriously though we know a lot of the family who are still in Washington County TN and could provide some information, if necessary. I also am interested in geneology in another way. I am a therapist and always construct genograms when I meet clients. Genograms are genealogies which map out family rules, roles and relationship patterns. I have done my own research using data gathered from people who are still living and through them those who are deceased. These patterns are transmitted through generations. Just how far back this goes is a matter of speculation. It wold be an interesting matter to study. The key to the present might be the past, far more than we realize, TC Roger P. Hale
