• Charles Hillman. Descendant of George Abbott Hall (1737-1791) who lived between Bristol and South Carolina. My principal focus has been on his kinsfolk and descendants and on those of his Bristol based elder brother Robert Hall (1735-1800). Here's a link to a Hall web page I started on twenty years ago. It looks strangely dated now, but you may still find some useful pointers in it.

{{One Name Study|name=Hall}} results in:

This profile is part of the Hall Name Study.

You can have it add a different category, such as Category: England, Hall Name Study, by adding a category parameter. (If you also wanted the profile to be in the main Hall Name Study category, you would need to add that category separately.) For example,

{{One Name Study|name=Hall|category=England, Hall Name Study}}

adds the same sticker, but adds Category:England, Hall Name Study instead of Category:Hall Name Study
