At an early age I attempted to compile a list of all my uncles, aunts and cousins. My parents tolerated endless questions of how each family member fit in, and I proceeded to test their memories for what they could tell me about their uncles, aunts and cousins. I contacted 2nd cousins and found their perspectives on the family equally enlightening. Once again, I was amazed and proud of the nice folks that I could claim as relatives. I heard several interesting stories about my dad’s uncle drowning in the Susquehanna River, and my mom’s uncle being dragged by a horse, breaking every bone in his body. These stories kept me digging through old newspaper articles and family photos in search of who these people were, and how their lives affected the rest of the family.

I have now been researching to some degree, for the past 30+ years, taking time to find a wife and raise two sons. My work in downtown Harrisburg, gave me 20 years of lunchhour access to the PA State Library and PA State Archives, researching many compilations of cemetery, church, newspaper and census records, as well as published genealogies from past generations. I’ve traveled extensively to courthouses and locations where the various lines of my family resided, searching for any clue or additional name to include in my ever-growing collection of family. For fun, I enjoy walking around cemeteries where family members are buried, primarily in central and western PA. I’ve corresponded extensively with many distant relatives, several were involved in their own family history research. We traded information and compared notes from differing perspectives of the family tree. I've learned how to obtain information from state, federal and private institutions where various records are preserved and I'm constantly searching for the latest clue that might put me in contact with yet another family member.

I've taken an active role in a few of what I consider worthy endeavors to promote genealogy on the Internet which are outlined on my Useful Genealogy Links page. I wholeheartedly support others but I just can't be a part of them all because there aren't enough hours in the day. I believe in protecting the privacy of living individuals from public consumption, but I am also a strong advocate of sharing collections of family information. Sharing on the Internet provides a foundation of information to help those with an interest in their roots to foster a love of genealogy. Although I try my best to be accurate in my transcriptions of family information, I do not profess to have flawless data, and each family should document the lines they wish to claim as their own. A great volume of information can be collected by word of mouth, but this does not preclude the need to verify these events as facts. I have worked hard to document as much as I can on my own family lines, but I have also accepted much by correspondance and conversation with other researchers and family members.

The response has been phenomenal. I receive numerous e-mails from distant cousins who have stumbled onto my site and found their great-grandparents, with offers to update their family line for me. I accept corrections and additions and freely share with interested relatives. I do not post my sources to the Internet, as a way of encouraging people to directly write to me for a fair exchange of family info. There are those who disagree with my philosophy, and they are certainly entitled to do so. I can only speak from my own positive experiences of comparing notes and corresponding with some really special people and building a foundation of friendship and family between cousins no matter how distant.
