I have been interested in genealogy since around 1995, and a member of Findagrave since around Jan 2016. My interest is primarily focused on family members in the last 4-5 generations. In some cases I have gone well beyond that. Last Names of particular are Aden, Jackson, McCormick associated through my parents. Most of my life outside of my military career in the USAF I have resided in the East-Central region of Kansas. My descendants mostly followed paths from Father who raised me: France-Ohio-Illinois-Kansas and England-Virginia-North Carolina-Indiana-Illinois-Kansas; Mother: Ireland & Germany-New York-Kansas. My biological father, who came into play as an unexpected finding from an AncestryDNA Test, was of German-Dutch descent and grew up in Pocohontas, Iowa.
