I retired from SBC in April 2001. I now work part-time for Sears. I also work part-time for a local utility contractor, and enjoy spending time each week volunteering with Austin Habitat for Humanity. In my spare time I still do a little handyman work. I also enjoy digital photography and HAM radio(WB5GPO).
Since 2001, I have worked on building my Family Tree beginning with information gathered from family records and rememberances. I have met several relatives and other helpful sources through FamilyTreeMaker.com and Ancestry.com who have helped me expand my knowledge. I have identified un-verified family history back to the 1400's on my mother's side of the family and have started verifying the information in this family history. Some of the names in this tree are: Rea, Simmons, Schwarz, Groshans, Ochsner, Peter, Zimmerman, Vasey, & Eddy. If you have corrections, additions, or comments regarding the information in the reports & tree on this web site, please contact me.
If you have Rea/Rhea/Ray/Rae/Rey/Reay/Raye/Wray/McRae/McRea surname ancestors, please visit the 'Rea DNA Project' web site at: http://garyr50.tripod.com/Rea_Surname_DNA_Project.htm
