I just got a note from Kory Meyerink stating that Charles Hall has died. Charles may be best known as the man who authored the “Atlantic Bridge to Germany” series of books. However, he also founded the “Palatines to America” and “Federation of Eastern European Family History Societies.” He was a good friend, and will be missed by all.
Following is an excerpt from his obituary:
Charles McAllister Hall 11/27/1930 ~ 3/15/2010… Charles leaves a legacy of a brilliant mind, a desire to always be learning, and a love of all nations and people. He
authored 10 books to help genealogists in the German and Prussian areas. He also founded two genealogical societies, Palatines to America and Federation of Eastern European Family History Societies… Funeral services will be held Friday, March 19, 2010, 11:00 a.m., at the Cottonwood 10th LDS chapel, 4930 S. Westmoor Rd. (1665 E.) Holladay, Utah. Friends may call Thursday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and Friday from 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. prior to the service. Interment in the Santaquin City Cemetery Friday afternoon. Online condolences may be shared at www.cannonmortuary.com
