I was born in Mobile Alabama (dob 1950) and have resided in New Orleans for the last 30-years. As a genealogist following all my direct lines, Conecuh County Alabama and Thomas county Georgia have proven to be my most relevant locations. The surnames I follow close are the first 7 generation of my perigee chart, including: OWENS, KIRKSEY, HIGDON, MIXON, STOKES, BARTLETT, HANSON, JOHNSON, HINES, BUIE, CRANE, WILLEY, MCLEAN, BYRD, STENNER, KILGORE, FARRIS, PINEY, WOODHAM, YOUNGBLOOD, MCDANIEL, IVEY, VERNOW, JOINER, ALLIGOOD, BARNS, WILLIS, CONE, CLAY, BODIFORD WILCOX, MANN, and STILLEY.

By occupation, I have predominately worked in shipbuilding and marine design and have enjoyed projects on most continents including North America, Central America, South America, Western Europe, Africa and Western Asia with involvement in Military combat vessels, Oil transport exploration and production, commercial vessels and specialized vessels including self-elevating, Minesweepers, and high speed planing hull.

Nautical and genealogical pursuits will migrate into ones blood. They are both additive demanding a lifelong commitment. Find-A-Grave has proven to be a valued source of information. I wish to give back some of the beneifits received through this web service by making some contributions of informations.
