I have been interested in genealogy for years and when I retired from TVA in 2004, I finally had the time to really get involved. I grew up in East Tennessee, but have lived in Ohio and Western KY also. My primary research has been on the Casteel, Long, Gay, Cardin, Cook, Lewis, Thompson, and Maxwell names. Also have researched my wife's family (Douthit). It is always interesting to find distant relatives spread across this vast country and share family information.
