Long time researcher for Key/ Kee, Wampler, Wood, Humphreys, Cook, Allen, and other families close to me. I live in the Southeast, in a rural area, but I have traveled to libraries, cemeteries, and courthouses for original documents, not taking my information from others' "family trees ". If this work is important, then it requires an investment of time and care to see that it is done accurately. All of you who have taken the time and effort to do primary research, thank you. I have done field work at Thomas Jefferson's retreat, Poplar Forest, worked at Andrew Jackson's home, The Hermitage, and volunteered for several archaeology projects in other countries. Research is tedious, but worth the effort. I hope more people will take the time to investigate for themselves. We owe it to our ancestors and our families.
