Hall was one of the original settlers of Manhattan island. He had a 77 23-acre land grant from the Dutch, a grant now one of the richest parcels of real estate in the world the Wall Street and Old Trinity church area. Started By Father Hall's one child, a daugh ter, married an Edwards, and so the branches began. Miss Wilson said some descendants of the Hall-Ed wards clan feet they may have some claim to the land "but I couldn't care less; my interest is strictly genealogi cal." Actually, she said, her fath er, Mark Thomas Wilson, a railroad engineer now retir ed, started the research m 1924.' She took over the pro ject in 1949 and once the tree was finished, she found trou ble "planting" it anywhere because of its size. Her original work sheets, listing some 22,000 ancestors and 600 living descendants, measured 26 by 54 feet when pasted up. She since has had the original lithographed in a more workable size six by eight feet. Sources Are Varied The genealogist started out as a dressmaker and designer, specializing in costumes for New Orleans' annual Mardi Gras. But once she began tracing her ancestors, she soon stowed her sewing ma chine and enrolled in gene alogy courses at the Congres sional Library school in Wash ington. She said she couldn't even estimate how many hours, miles and dollars went into her own genealogy. But other customers are charged by the day, travel, mailing or any other expenses involved. Her sources are the living heirs, plus records from fam ily Bibles, churches, vital sta tistics bureaus, city or county health departments and li braries. "One tip always leads to another," she said. "But. fam ilies today don't keep good records. Very few fcecord names and dates of births and marriages in the Bible. It's going to make work harder for future genealogists. ' "Anyone can trace his own family tree if he wants. You don't need to be an expert. But you need time, money and, most of all, infinite pa tience.".

"Professional Care for Wash and Wear" New Milk Delivery Tried in Vermont Burlington, Vt. - (UPD - A new method of milk delivery that could eliminate the fa miliar quart bottle has been tested in Vermont. Milk dispensers, containing 24 quarts, were tried out for five months in the kitchens of families using six or more quarts of milk daily. These refrigerated cabinets hold two three-gallon cans and produce milk through sterile rubber tubes at the touch of a lever. Housewives reported they found the dispensers conven ient. The extra room in re frigerators was welcome, and the milk kept longer. Only disadvantage: the cabinets did not fit easily into the kitchen layout and usually it was necessary to provide small stands on which to place them. 2 ; It'" 's. H. D.
