I love getting out when I can and helping others as much as possible with their linage. I don't really know where my love for genealogy started but I love seeing old photos and buildings. My family as well as my wife are descendants of Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. Wonderful heritage there that should never be forgotten but has been slowly ripped away by commercialism.

Paternal Lineage:
Best, Huffstetler, Carpenter, Neal, Bradley, Rains, Curtis, and Young.
Maternal Lineage:
Beaty, Booher, Maynard, Cooper, Myers, Shields, Shuler, and Fisher.

Spouse's Lineage
Paternal:
Smith, Woods, Crisp, Bailey, Short, O'Dell, Charles, and Woodard.
Maternal:
Tipton, Burchfield, Proctor, Moore, Miles, Chambers, Crowder, and Rasor.

‎...Good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when the forget me nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble. - C H Spurgeon
