I have been doing genealogy for about 40 years. Since my retirement from teaching I have been able to give more time to this hobby. Genealogy gives me a feeling of having personally known my ancestors. They tend to become real people rather than just names on a chart. I get a great deal of enjoyment out of honoring my ancestors by registering them in various lineage societies. This is a way of making sure that they are not forgotten. Surnames in my family tree include: Abercrombie, Carroll, Marriott, Warren, Maybank, Swinton, Collins, Youngblood, Pratt, Potts, Johnson, Nevill, Robertson, Hogan, Holton, Terry, Arnold, Winsett, Tucker, Steptoe, Clark, Bonneau, Videau, Harvey, and Goza.
