Son of Dr. Charles A. Thomas, Jr. (deceased), PhD in Psychololgy, Army Colonel, and Miriam Anne Foose (deceased), Nurse and Needlecraft Shop Owner
Past Professions: Employee of Needle craft store; Employee of Gift and Flower store; Carpenter's helper; Teaching Assistant (Univ. of MD); Technical Analyst, Software Developer, and Program Manager (American Management Systems, Inc. - Now CGI/NA); Website Development Company Owner (Digital Rose, Inc.) ; Massage Therapist and Instructor; and, am now retired.
I have lived in Georgia, Texas, California, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Florida, Colorado, Virginia and West Virginia. My wife was Lisa Mary Sleevi (deceased) and I have 5 living children, born 1984 to 1999, none yet with issue.
As of my registration date of 7/11/18 with WikiTree, I have been researching my ancestors off and on again. I have traced my lineage back to at least my 2nd-Great-Grandparents and, in some cases, to European origins.
I have had my DNA tested with 23andMe, as well as with Ancestry.com. I have been trying to fill in blanks in my ancestry and identify relatives using their tools provided. I have also been corresponding with others that share DNA with me. I am 100% of European origin, mostly English, Frankish, and Scandinavian.
Known paternal 2nd-Great-Grandparents include the surnames Daly and Kennedy from Ireland, Hartel and Borden (from unknown), Gorsuch (from England), and Thomas from Germany. One great-grandfather, William S. Foose (1863-1917), was adopted in York County, Pennsylvania, and I have no idea of any of his ancestors.
