Bio

Because I've sent so many updates/corrections/additions, it seems appropriate to provide some information. I am a serious genealogist with nearly 25 years of experience. As an undergraduate, my field was history so I bring that to the table. I worked as a professional researcher for the National Geographic Society's Special Publications Division for seven years covering the Apollo/Skylab missions. I was a researcher/reporter for the Los Angeles Times Houston Bureau for two years . Then, I joined a small oil and gas company to organize their information/reports/geological and geophysical records. I rose in this company, especially after earning an MBA in finance, ending up as head of the mergers and acquisitions department. Burned out after 13 years,
became a Master Gardener and then turned my sights to genealogy. I have tracked some lines of my ancestry with complete documentation back into the Dark Ages. I have made numerous trips to various libraries: FHL, DAR in Washington, DC, Virginia State Library, etc. As should be obvious, I take this pursuit seriously.
