I'm dedicated to teaching those wishing to learn the right way of investigating, analyzing and reporting genealogical findings. But let's face it, genealogy is just plain fun. I love the hunt, the discovery and the excitement of sharing with others. What you may not know (besides my lifelong passion for genealogy) is I’ve had a long career in television broadcasting and management. I’m also a wildlife and nature photographer. Now is the time for me to take all these skills into a new side-kick. I’m using my talents in photography, television, video production, editing, and as a lifelong genealogist, combining those skills together to create the Genealogy TV and NC Ancestry as YouTube channels along with similar websites and blogs. I promise… I’m dedicated to this effort. I really appreciate your support.   / genealogytv   Thanks so much!
