Research

I have been back to working on researching my ancestry, genealogy, since we moved home to Largo. I am only half a mile from the public library which has a very large genealogy center and offers genealogy courses. I have traced my paternal grandfather's lineage back to Malcolm Macnauchthan. Currently I am researching ways to share the growing tree with you.Once I trace the line back as far as I can I will share and begin to compile what stories I can find about my ancestors.
As the McNett's are only 1/4 of my family history I am also researching my other "quarters". First is my paternal grandmother, Virginia Mae Pearce. Next, is my maternal grandfather, Elmer Frederick Vaughn or Vaughan as it appears in the 1920 census. Last is my maternal grandmother Lorraine Cecilia Johnson. I understand from my cousin that her mom, my aunt, has quite a bit of family tree information that my Grandma's favorite nephew, Pete, had compiled, so I will wait on spending time on this "quarter" until I am able to see his research.
