Biography

I am a retired software engineer in Melbourne, Brevard, FL, USA.

I have been doing genealogy on and off for decades, and pretty seriously since about 2012.

I am one of those many people who discovered a surprise from a DNA test -- my grandfather was not who I always supposed he was.

I am probably the foremost expert on, and certainly a leading proponent of, using off-camera flash to photograph otherwise unreadable tombstone inscriptions.

Hello,

Have you noticed how we match? I match your Mother also but my paper trail doesn’t match, would be interesting to see what you thought. My tree is on Ancestry and is up to date with you and your mom. (Parks and Berg) , or I can sent you screenshots, etc. Thanks, Steve Parks and Gedmatch A298211, AND I am showing a 4Cx1XR with your father, Marcus, and I am aware of the NPE.

Hi Jamie! Looks like we have a GEDMatch at 5cm :)
Hi! Yes. And we are 7th cousins (1x removed). That is a small match, but it is surprising 7th cousins match at all. You also match my brother (A149597) at 9 cM. There's probably another, closer relationship among all those old-time Appalachian ancestors that we don't know about.

I'm trying to follow your line and see where our different matches are. My grandmothers maiden name was Cox and we also have the name Cobb :)
I found I am not actually related by blood to the Coxes or Cobbs. Thompson seems possible, but it's a very common name.
posted by Jamie Cox
Well, no matter the name, DNA shows we're related. Hello cousin! :)
Thank you for the merge of Benjamin Wesley Hyde. There is a project for this family, which you may be interested in. http://www.hydegenealogy.com/?page_id=755 It requires one to "join" the project to have access to their research.

I will look for additional sources for Elizabeth Leatherwood other than the one that I posted: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LHFR-JY5

I'm happy to share what I have. My father did some genealogy, and now I've been doing it for a while. I'm a FindAGrave contributor, and know the secret to taking legible tombstone photos.
