Welcome to my website. There are four sections to this website. The first section contains links to photographs of some of my ancestors. The second section is an index of my direct ancestors. This index only contains my direct ancestors, not all the individuals in my family database. The third section is a list of some of the genealogists and researchers who have helped me to climb my family tree. And the fourth section contains links to related websites. Please e-mail me if you want to share information about any of my ancestors.

Most of my ancestors immigrated to the United States from England, Germany, Scotland, Ireland, France, or Wales. In the 1600's and 1700's they lived in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. In the 1800's they lived primarily in southeastern Kentucky and eastern Tennessee.
My genealogy policy:
I believe strongly that genealogy should not be copyrighted. All the information on this page may be freely used by all my distant cousins. I am always willing to make corrections to my family tree, provided that there is a good reason for doing so. Please e-mail me and let me know if something needs to be changed. I try to verify as much of the information in my family tree as I can. However I do NOT have documentation for all of my ancestors right now. I have often relied on the word of other researchers, so please realize that a lot of the information on this website is unproven.
