Genealogy Home Page for Steve Day

I have been doing extensive research since December of 1997. Many contributions have been derived from the research of others. (I have provided credit in many areas for the research and contributions of others.) In addition, much of my research is original work not attributable to any other researchers.

My family tree includes over 1700 people. Many aditional people have been trimmed (side branches) to keep the tree reasonable and to assure that all individuals included have been verified. During my research, I have disproved many reported genealogical relationships. I typically will not include material without verifying the information from good records.

In the year 2000, I published a book on the family history: "A Journey into the History of Canada and the United States." It contains about 70 photos going back over 100 years. It details family involvement in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and more.

For the past few years, I have been working on new and original research on the origins of Richard Cocke of Virginia. He came from England. The Magazine of Virginia Genealogy has published my article on the Origins of Richard Cocke in the August issue of 2007, Vol. 45, No. 3. (This issue was printed late, at the end of October.) This article unveils the origins of Richard Cocke and reports on Richard's father, grandparents, and siblings. The previously published information is incorrect and this article proves that.

For an exciting view of the story of Richard Cocke's life, read the article below. Also take a look at the report on the whole family back in Pickthorn, England. More than 50 previously unknown members of Richard's family were found in England.

So, what families am I currently researching?

Krieg & Brookley (Brogle): from Germany and France near 1830, to Hungary around 1890, to Pennsylvania.

Feel free to contact me, I am still looking for many individuals in my family tree. I would love to share information and resources.

I am particularly seeking information on the John J. McCullough family from Williamsburg, South Carolina in the early 1800's. I believe that there were over 3 generations of family all with the name John J. McCullough. One of these John J. McCulloughs came to Williamsburg, South Carolina near 1737 and married into the Witherspoon family.
