Michael first became interested in the family tree in grade school after receiving, as a Christmas gift in the mid-1960's, a Bible which included a branching, five-generation pedigree chart. With his paternal grandmother's encouragement, he began to record details of the family history in July 1974.
From 1985 to 1997 we accumulated 52,464 relatives in our computer database using Quinsept's genealogy software
Family Roots™. Then for several years we used The Master Genealogist™ software, which ceased to be supported after 2014. We are currently using Legacy™ and have over
106,745
individuals in our database. Following DNA analyses of Michael's parents and Jeannie in 2017, we are also maintaining a family tree at Ancestry.com limited to our ancestors with their children and grandchildren, totalling 8,804 people.
Michael is a life member of the Arkansas Genealogical
Society and the Boone County (Arkansas) Historical Society.
He was admitted into the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) as #121312 on 20 December 1982 by descent from patriot Friederich SCHLEIFF.
We're apparently all related if we go back far enough. It took 22½ years to discover how Michael & Jeannie are distant cousins. (Our DNA testing found that we do not share any chromosomes from our most recent common ancestor, born about 300 years ago.)
If you are related to us, it's likely that we have lots of genealogical information that we can share with you. From the links below, you can discover much of the genealogy that we have uncovered. Email us if you know you're related, but don't find as much information online as you'd like. It is our hope that this Web site will enhance pride in your family's heritage and strengthen your faith in generations that will come after us.
