Welcome!
My name is Larry W. Thomas and I began researching my family’s genealogy over 30 years ago.
My younger brother and I were in the same Army Reserve unit and when we both met our First Sergeant, 1SG Thomas, we instantly knew he had to be related. He looked so much like our grandfather and great grandfather. I never did research his family to find the connection but it got us researching our family line. I have been doing this professionally now since 2008.
I am always looking to help others in their journey to find their missing ancestors regardless of where in the U. S. they are searching. There is never a guarantee of success, but more often than not, we can rule out some folks which is still moving us along our path of success. Knowing those who are not the missing ancestor narrows down the prospects yet to research. Sometimes, after eliminating all other possibilities, the last man or woman standing must then be the correct one unless there is something that shows they cannot be the missing person. But I promise to help move you in the right direction.
