I've been doing genealogy in a very serious way since 1999, originally building on information my parents wrote in my baby book that gave me back to all my great great grandparents.

I also had a family history written by one of my great grandfathers who had a good deal of information his French Coulon ancestors back to before the French Revolution. One great grandmother had worked with her mother and some uncles to assemble a family history of her Moore family that covered a couple of centuries and hundreds of parallel lines. And an aunt had worked a bit on our McFarland line that gave me a bit of a start there. A distant cousin shared his research on the Loutzenhiser family on which I have continued to build. Some cousins have worked cooperatively on the Marshalls. And one cousin in particular assisted me in making an important connection on my Burns line. Then, of course, there is the massive DNA project that Doug Mumma has done to tie together the many branches of the Mumma families. So I've gotten some significant boosts from the work of those who went before me.

The main names of interest to me are Burns, Coulon, Kissinger, Ely, Smith, Rettew, Quelet, McFarland, Dixon, Moore, Marshall, Mumma, Barbier, Juillard, Loutsenhizer, and Jennings.
