My interest in genealogy began in the early 1990's with my first computer. I had a passing interest in my ancestry before then, but with no idea how to organize what little information I had on my parents and grandparents, much less how to go about researching prior generations, the interest never took hold. Then one day I stumbled across some genealogy software in a store which allowed me to start building a family tree. Once I began keying in the data and successfully filling in the gaps here and there, often by the hardest since I didn't know what I was doing early on, I became hooked.

Over time, I also discovered there are others whose research intersected with my own; people who often turned out to be cousins of some degree of separation, but nonetheless "kin". I am eternally grateful to all of them for generously sharing their time and information. Though not an exhaustive list, my thanks go out to Carolyn Graetz, the late Jimmy Johnson, Leita Spoto, Josie Plescia Vaughn, Jo Saunders, Herbert Johnson and his late wife Gladys, Bobby & Charlotte Johnson, Leah Wakefield, James Mims, and Carlette Williams for all of the invaluable information provided on my lineage.
