Grew up in northern Prince George's County, Maryland, and since retiring from NASA, found a new vocation... genealogy. It all began when my kids, at a family gathering, queried me about their pedigree and I realized how little I knew about my ancestors. I had some knowledge of my Mom's family, but knew virtually nothing about my Dad's. So the great quest began. Now I've become the "unofficial" family historian and spend way too much time glued to the computer and tramping around cemeteries.

Some names I am researching: Allison, Allred/Alred, Banner, Bargar, Bitting, Callender, Gooding, Groft, Hay, Hook, Remy, Ritenour, Schenk, Selby, Washburn, Woods, Wooster/Worster & Yeakle.

Please submit any additions or corrections to me under "Suggest a Correction" on the memorial site and I will be happy to add in links, updates and further information. I will be glad to transfer memorials outside my family, but please read the Transfer Requirements before making a request. Please send transfer requests through the "Suggest a Correction" tab and include the memorial number and a valid e-mail address.
