I am a retired public school teacher and have been researching my family since the 1970s. My main families of interest include Vaughn, Young, McCracken, Nielsen, Thompson, and Steele, though my research is very broad and encompasses many more related families.

Besides genealogy, my hobbies include both computers and photography, and I expect I will be posting pictures on this site. I believe all of these pictures should belong to everyone, so if I have posted any pictures that you are interested in, feel free to use them in your own research. I am just providing a service to both my family and the community.
