  18. Find a Grave — Hall, died 2001, Santa Ana, Orange County, California.
    No matches found for Hall × Died 2001 × Santa Ana, Orange County, California, USA

    NEGATIVE RESULT, recorded so nobody repeats it. Charles Henry Hall is said (FamilySearch tree L51K-5RF) to be buried at Fairhaven Memorial Park, Santa Ana. There is **no Find a Grave memorial** for him: a search for surname Hall, died 2001, Santa Ana returns "No matches found", and so does a search for Charles Hall, born 1920, died 2001, California. Nor is there one for Estella: Estella Hall, died 2008, California returns a single unrelated record (E. Everett Hall, Phoenix, Arizona). So Find a Grave will not yield the family group, and the grave has not been photographed.
