I started working in genealogy about a seven years ago. My motivation was to permanently capture the work my father and Hazel's grandmothers had done. Once I began the project, I was hooked. Genealogy is like detective work, you find a clue and work it to the end and start on another clue. It is great fun. I have as well found many people that have been extremely helpful in my quest for data and my roots.

I have chosen to use Family Tree Maker for my Windows based genealogical tool and GeneWeb for my web based records. 

My family is almost exclusively English, Irish, Welch, and Scottish. Hazel's family is English, Irish, Welch, Scottish, German, French, and Norwegian. Of course, my little girl has a proud Dravidian heritage from the Telangana in South Central India. I am working hard to document her heritage which is just as important as our biological heritage.

I can not even begin to thank all of the people that have helped on this ongoing project, so a blanket thank you goes out the all of the kind people that contributed.
