After 30+ years as an electrical engineer, I left the workforce to care for elderly parents on both sides and our Autistic grandson. In my spare time I discovered Family Tree Maker and genealogy. My parentage comes from the Scott line (Northern Ireland) and the Smeal line (Kassel, Germany). My wife's parentage comes from the Withiam line (Seneca County, NY) and the Wilson line (Pennsylvania).
