Thanks for stopping by!  I'm sure by now you know how passionate I am about genealogy and preserving family history. 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.

To borrow a line from Jerry Maguire, “help me, help you.”  If you like what you see and wish to help support my effort, please consider becoming a Patreon member of Genealogy TV and NC Ancestry.  

This will help me bring more enrichment to you. For as little as $1 per month, says you like what I’m doing and want more.  Click here to donate and keep more videos and blogs coming. https://www.patreon.com/genealogytv
