I was given a legacy. My maternal grandmother Chloe Woods Underwood was an accomplished genealogist and passed much of her line on as well as her husband's to the grandchildren. I have added to this information with the lines of my father Frederick, and wife Mary Fanucchi. While tackling this amateur endeavor, I have taken to photographing many of the families' gravestones, and amassing a great many personal photos of the those individuals. Most of my submissions to this site will have some ties to our various extended family lines.

On a personal note; I am married to Mary Catherine Fanucchi, and we have twin sons Andrew Frederick and Thomas John. We live in San Jose, California, although Mary was born in Stockton and I in Pomona, both in California.
