Halifax Queries

A queries page is not a shortcut for research. It is intended to aid those who have already exhausted easily available sources of information and are looking for information from new, obscure or hard-to-find sources. If you submit a query the webmaster may reject it if he decides that you should first pursue other avenues of research.

This queries page is intended only for genealogical research. Please ask specific genealogical questions about specific individuals. General inquiries about families, or inquiries such as searches for living relatives, are not appropriate and will not be posted. Inquiries about twentieth-century individuals may not be accepted because they are too recent - readers are not likely to know about your twentieth-century ancestors.

This page is reserved for queries about people who lived in Halifax. If you do not know the Plymouth County town of residence for a person you should post your query on the Plymouth County Queries Page or in the Plymouth Colony Forums.

I've prepared a submission form for queries. Please submit a seperate query for each surname and feel free to post as many Halifax queries as you wish.

PLEASE NOTE that email addresses on this page other than my own are displayed as graphics, not as links. I understand that this is inconvenient for some visitors, especially those who are visually impaired. I believe that it is necessary in order to reduce spam and protect the privacy of those posting queries. If you have any difficulty reading an email graphic you can click on it to view a magnified version. If you prefer you can send me email with the name of the person who placed the query and I will send you their email address.

LESTER / LISTER

October 5, 2008; Kay Clarke


I have reason to believe that my ancestor William LESTER/LISTER died accidently and was buried in a Halifax cemetery around 1824. He was probably born about 1790, was married with probably 3 children. I would very much appreciate hearing from someone who knows if this could be true.

TINKHAM

June 21, 2003; Diane Wolford


Seeking information about Isaac TINKHAM, b. 1685 (probably Middleboro), d. 1750 in Halifax. He was also listed as a Deacon there. He married Abijah WOOD. I have more on the Plymouth County Tinkhams and am willing to share.
