I am a retired music professor and university research administrator. I started family research in the 1970s because I knew so little about my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. It has been interesting and rewarding; I expect to keep at it. Surnames of interest include Hunt, Yearwood, Cox, Ward, Mahon, Patterson, Fortner, Holliman, Bayless, Williams, Sterling, Walder, Morrow, May, Buchanan, King, Berry, Sharp, and Hamilton, as well as Butler, Poyntz, Sydenham, de Audley, de Courtenay, Stewart, fitzAllen, fitzWalter, and other Scot, Celtic, and Norseman ancestors.
