I've been doing genealogy research for over 20 years. My primary focus is in Central Appalachia, covering Eastern Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia. I'm willing to help where I am able. Some of my dominant family names are Howard, Wilson, Hunter, Beverly, Delong, Wells, Lilly, Dutton, and Fields to name a few. I do cover other states throughout Appalachia. I currently reside in Columbus, Ohio and am a member of the Martin County Historical Society in Inez, Kentucky. On the side, I'm also a published short story writer of non-fiction Appalachian paranormal tales.
