Mary,
I just found your post on Rootsweb from 2005 and wanted to get in touch with you. I have only been researching my family tree since June (2010), so I'm rather new at this. My 3grgrandfather was John M. Halk. I am descended from his daughter Virginia. I would love to talk with you and share any information I have with you as well. Please e-mail me at gpwilson2010@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
