I recently released my own family history book; 30 years in research, two years of dedicated writing. It is a 300-page hardback edition that covers 400 years of Clark family history, back to Northern Ireland in the 1600s. Titled "Ulster to Kansas, A 400 Year Journey", it is now available.

Many of my books, including the KwikGuide series, offer easy-to-follow steps for dating old photographs, which assists family historians and genealogists in determining who the people are in those old pictures. In addition, I authored a series on archive photography, gravestone photography, and care of slides and negatives.

These best sellers compliment the recent works on the Grand Army of the Republic and Cemetery and Gravestone Research, including how to clean old gravestones

I have been a photographer and graphics designer for more years than I will admit. I began collecting, researching, documenting, and writing about 19th century history and photography for more than 20 years ago. I began my tracing my genealogy more than thirty years ago – it is a life-long venture..
