This is the on-line version. The original was scanned and the text corrected for spellings, something that was very difficult in the original mimeograph process. There is also some minor editing. The Hales Manuscript pages being developed during the publication of the Old Series of The Hales Newsletter have been deleted because the content is now found in The Hales Chronicles, now in its second edition with the third edition planned for 2005.

The Hales Chronicles can be found on the Hales web-page at www.hales.org and at The Family History Library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City, Utah; The Library of Congress at Washington, D.C.; The Library of The Society of Genealogists at London, England; and the Centre for Kentish Studies at Maidstone, Kent, England.

The Hales Newsletter is provided to the above cited repositories and the Allen County Public Library at Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Allen County Public Library indexes our publication and provides articles through their Periodical Source Index (PERSI).

If you would like a printed version, reprints of the Old Series of The Hales Newsletters are available at a cost of $3.00 each.

The Hales Genealogical Society has moved. Due to a promotion within the company I work for, it is necessary to relocate once again. We will be moving into our new home in Longmont, Colorado on October 14, 1974. Until that time things will be a little unsettled so please be patient if I am slow to respond to your mail.

By way of explanation, I have been in Colorado since last November filling a temporary position which now has become permanent. If the last year has seemed to be a little disorganized that is the reason.

The secretary of the Hales Genealogical Society is Kenneth Glyn Hales, 2405 Collyer Street, Longmont, Colorado 80501. Please use this address for all correspondence.

This section of our Hales Newsletter contains the "happenings" that I am made aware of between issues. Contributions of articles for this section are requested and welcomed. If you see an item of information concerning someone named Hales, please send me a copy so that it can be included in our Newsletter.
