| Introduction | I began professional life as a Chemical Engineer, went into Chemistry, and worked for many years as a professor at the University of New Mexico. Since 1999, when I retired, my interests have been redirected from chemistry and environmental research to family history research and writing. I have authored or co-authored six histories: The Never-Failing Brook, The Glenn and Mary Imle Tapscott Family; Henry the Immigrant, The First Tapscotts of Virginia (two editions); Bier und Brot, the Wehners of Southeast Missouri; To Praise; To Bless, To Preach, a History of the Newman Dominican Community at the University of New Mexico; A Summers Saga, The Road to Wittenberg; and Henry's Children, The Tapscotts of the Wabash Valley. Except for the last book, hardbound copies of these are no longer available, but digital copies can be obtained from me at no charge. Books on the Imle Family, the Wabash Valley Wrights, and the Fauquier County Tapscotts are being written. I manage a Tapscott Surname DNA study at FamilyTreeDNA, administer the Tapscott name message board on Ancestry.com, and am a member of the International Society of Genetic Genealogy (ISOGG). |
