I am the son of Lawrence Hubert Hill who was the son of Harvard Frances Hill (later changed his name to Harvey Hubert Hill) the brother of Joseph Bernard Hill. I am trying to connect the dots of my family history, I have letters written from Joseph to his mother (my great-grandmother) while deployed during World War I. Any assistance on more information on both Joseph Bernard and his father Joseph B Hill would be greatly appreciated. Thanks brant.hill@rsa-al.gov
