Introduction	My name is Joe Sprowl. I have been my family's historian for over twenty-five years. I began my Sprowl research at the LDS Family History Center in Pocatello, Idaho before the internet simplified research. I'm also researching the Irish Famine periods and the Scotch-Irish migrations of colonial America. I have an extensive genealogical library that covers colonial Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and New England so let me know if I can be of any help. I have recently taken over (6/2017) the administrator duties of the Sproul Project group at FTDNA. I have recognized that genealogical research has evolved in a way where DNA testing is as important to your research as anything. It adds credibility and confidence to our reseach and can be monumental when trying to bust through those ever menacing brick walls!
Interests	Genealogy, colonial history, the outdoors. I have successfully completed the Genealogy Research program through Boston University.
Favorite movies	Anything with Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson and John Wayne.
Favorite music	Country, 70's Rock, Bluegrass, Celtic, and most favorite...my sons bagpipe performances!
Favorite books	History, particularly colonial history of the mid-Atlantic region.
