When I was about 10 years old, my father and I sat at the kitchen table and drew a family chart with a chewed and nubby old #2 pencil and a sheet of notebook paper. I still have that paper, yellowed and creased. It was the start of a life long hobby and one of the greatest gifts my father gave me.
I study the Allen family of Wake County, NC, the Davis family of Granville County, NC, the Stancil and Johnson families of Johnston County, NC and all their collateral lines.
Here's the statistics from my current Family Tree Maker database. Over 4000 people, 16 generations and 580 surnames. Over 15,000 facts and nearly 2000 pictures. I'm impressed. With me.
