I have been researching the family since 1976 and since retiring in 1997, I have been fortunate in persuing my passion nearly non-stop.

Many years have been spent adding flesh to the old bones of both my parents as well as my wife's parents forefathers.

Because genealogy is a true passion of mine, I have been blessed with being a guest lecturer to a large genealogy group located nearly forty miles from my home for the past several years.

Through this research, I've met many relatives in most of our fifty states and I stay in touch with them by e-mail or phone on a regular basis. It is great to hear the many stories handed down from one generation to another as I locate new family members.

A family reunion is held each year and I use this gatherig to retrieve new information (births, deaths, marriages & divorces) from the attendees which number 125 - 150.
