I am searching for family or descendants of Beatrice Hackman, originally from possibly the Brownsdale, Minnesota, area. She married my father's brother, Francis William "Bill" Hall, Jr. of Iowa. They married shortly before or during World War II. Bill joined the Army Air Corps as a mechanic instructor and traveled to Texas, California, and Lousiana. Bea stayed behind in MN but did occasionally meet with him at various bases. They later divorced about 1951-53 and he remarried. Bea and Bill had no children. Incidentally, Bill passed away in 1998.

Bill worked as a hired hand for Bea's family. She had a brother who may also have been in WWII named Leroy, and other brothers may have been Vic and Vince.

I am sorry I have no pertinent information about Bea. I am interested in finding her family to return postcards and letters she wrote, only if they are interested in possessing them. Being a family historian, I enjoy finding such treasures myself, and am happy to return these priceless items to a welcoming home.

Please contact me privately. Thank you.
