I am a retired/disabled U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel who lives in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Almost my entire life I was satisfied that nobody in my family could tell me our ancestry. I'm now no longer satisfied with that answer, and I'm trying to build a knowledge base that can be passed to current and future generations. If I can also find some real people to whom we're related -- well, that would be great. Thanks for reading.
