I became interested in genealogy along with my aunt Thelam Pack-Whelan around the 1970's. I was born and have lived in Meade County all my life. It seems like we always wait to late in life to start researching family history after our grand parents and great grandparents have passed on.

In my family are surmames of Aebersold, Benham, Board, Coleman, Fowler, Givans, Grable, Green, Griffee, Harrington, Jones, Jupin, King, Lawson, McDonald, Miller, Pack, Polk, Powell, Seeley, Shacklett, Shrewsbury, Stith, Syphus, Thomas, Wardrip and Wathen.

In my wives family are surnames of Bickett, Brown, Coffman, Hagar, Hamilton, Lancaster, Medley, Meeks, Pike, Ray, Redmon, Wheatley and Whelan.
