Our condolences go to Fred Hale Jr. on the recent loss of his dad, the world's oldest living man, a few days prior to his 114 th birthday.


President's Message
Welcome to the first issue of our twelfth year. I must apologize for this issue being late. I retired a short time after the Hale Family Association was originally founded, and have since been involved with several endeavors that allowed me to have flexible hours and days.
In early November, I was asked to fill in for the remainder of the school year and teach three classes per day
1. A CAD class.
2. A Robotics class, where we construct a robot using syringes as pistons for movement.
3. An introductory Modular Technology Class, where 1st year students can explore Technology areas such as Numerical control machining, Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Electronics, Laser, Mechanisms etc). I had forgotten how demanding a classroom full of students with their inquisitive minds and probing questions could be-then when you add those infernal passing bells, I know why I retired in 1993.


The up-side, the students are still great, I only have to go in for classes. no extra duties etc.

I received a nice letter from Cousin Peg Axlund of California, and she sent a page of interesting genealogical facts that I will include further down.

Peg also included the following quotes:
"I should have asked them before they died" (Your parents, Aunts, Uncles and cousins, usually love to share their family stories -- try asking!)

"My Ancestors must be in a witness protection program".

Since we live in the computer age, I have included some web sites that you might find interesting:
I.) http://www.potifos.com/tpg/geo/NH/ CH.html (Several page of Political Info about NH)
2.) http://etext.1ib.virginia.edu/salem/ witchcraft/archives/essex/ (Quarterly Court Records of Ipswich & Salem from 1630Includes Rev John Hale, Thomas Hale and much more)
3.) http://etext.virginia.edu/salem/ witchcraft/archives/MassHist/ (Many documents from Salem Witch Trials)
4.) http://etext.virginia.edu/salem/ witchcraft/home.html

DEAR ABBY:
I was trying to tell my cousin that the children of one's first cousin are not second cousins, they are first cousins once removed, and she said I was crazy. I read this in your column not long ago, but unfortunately, I didn't clip it.
Will you please explain the cousin relationship again? And this time go into the grandnephew, grandniece, and great-aunt and great-uncle as well as great-grand aunt and great-granduncle relationship. Thank you.
NEEDS PROOF

DEAR NEEDS:
The child of your parent's brother or sister is your first cousin.
However, your first cousin's child is not your second cousin, but your first cousin once removed.
The child of your first cousin once removed is your rust cousin twice removed,
and his child is your first cousin three times removed.
Your second cousin is your grandparent's brother's or sister's grandchild.
That second cousin's child is your second cousin once removed,
and his child is your third cousin twice removed.
    The grandchild of brother or sister is your grandnephew or grandniece.
    The sister or brother of your grandparent~ your great-aunt or great-uncle.
    The sister or brother of your great-grandparent is your great grand-aunt or great-grand-uncle.
   
Whew? Isn't this grand? Or is it great?
 

  RELATIONSHIPS
Your: Second cousin's Son is your 2nd cousin once removed.
Aunt's Granddaughter is your 1st cousin once removed.
Granduncle's grandson is your 2nd cousin.
Grandfather's sister is your grand aunt.
Uncle's great grandson is your 1st cousin twice removed.
Brother's grandson is your grandnephew.
Aunt's daughter is your first cousin.
Father's first cousin is your 2nd cousin.


USING THE    8870 FORMULA
Oh, so old, but tried and true

Using the 8870 formula to ascertain a birth date can be a tremendous help
to the genealogist when checking tombstone dates. If a tombstone records
that a person died May 6, 1889 and was 71 years, 7 months and 9 days
old but no date of birth is listed, you can quickly arrive at the birth date
by using the 8870 formula rather than taking time to count backwards.
Example:   
18890506   
 Subtract -      71 0709   
 ----------  
18179797  
 
Subtract -    8870  
    
18170927

Died 1889 May 6

Are you Kith or Kin?
Kin are your blood relatives, the  co-descendants of a common ancestor.
They are also called "kindred" and "Kinsmen."
Kinship can be either patrilineal (on the father's side) and/or matrilineal (on the mother's side).
Co-laterals are kin who common ancestors not in your direct line of descent.
(e.g. siblings, aunts, cousins, uncles, nephews and nieces)    .
Kith are persons with whom you have a close relationship, not necessarily by blood.
They may be friends and acquaintances, of your ethnic background, culture or language.    .

HERBALS FROM BETSY

PLANTAIN
Plantain is known to be soothing, antibacterial, antihistamine, and antiallergenic. Good emergency treatment for irritant insect bites. This is a common weed in many yards everywhere. Parts used are the leaves and seed.

PLANTAIN INFUSED OIL
The following is a herbal infused oil. Plantain oil is helpful for wounds and sores: it encourages the healing of damaged tissue.

2 cups of fresh plantain leaves 2 cups of olive oil

In blender, process the leaves and oil until smooth. Place the mixture in a small covered jar and leave it in the window for seven days. Keep the plantain submerged in the oil to keep it from spoilage. Press the oil from the herb. Bottle and store in the refrigerator.

Secretary/Treasurer Mumbles
I got the newsletter information from Fred and Betsy in the past few days.  It is up to me now to get their information put together and into our newsletter, AND GET A COPY TO Bob Hale so he can put on the Hale Family Web Site.
   
This year will be our scheduled bi-annual meeting.  I hope you all are looking forward to getting together this coming Fall.  In past issues we have had some information about several places: Hales location here in the Conway, NH area, The Hale Farm in Ohio, and the Nathan Hale Homestead in Coventry, Connecticut . There has also been mention of Exeter, NH and other  places in the Massachusetts area.   These are all quite a distance from a good many of us, but we hope to see a lot of our cousins at the meeting this year.  We have to consider a new slate of officers for the coming two year term and we are open to any volunteers and/or nominations for those offices.

I would like to try and find out how many Hale Family crests or emblems we may have among our various collections.  We have the one I got several years ago that we have on our newsletters, Bob has one he puts on the Hale Web Site, I have one from James Hale that he sent a while back, and we also have the quilt that Catherine McCausland sent.  Perhaps we can get some of these put into a copy in the future

    Happy New Year and best of everything in the coming year.
