I am a retired professional Genealogist, APG Member (Association of Professional Genealogists) and have over 40 years of genealogy experience and research.
About a decade ago I was hit by a drunk driver and the accident left me disabled with severe spinal injuries so I have been forced into a "retirement" of sorts - my focus remains on my lifetime research and repairing of the Lees of Virginia descendant lines, sharing my lees of Virginia data, writing on my discoveries about our Lees of Virginia lineages, and voluntarily helping others find the truth in their own genealogy and family ancestry when I am able for even though I have limitations now physically, I am still unlimited mentally and my determination has not been thwarted by my hardships. I am always here to help.
As a professional genealogist:
I proudly abide by the code of ethics of the Association of Professional Genealogists as I undertake my genealogy and history research.
For hundreds of years, the Lees of Virginia descendants of Col. Richard Lee have been denied their heritage- denied their birthright by historians and scholars that refuse to allow the truth to be known.
Because of past speculation that was considered as truths, and opinions that were published as facts by outdated references that have no proven documentation, as law that governs over who descends from Colonel Richard Lee and Anne Constable by the 'majority rule' genealogy sites, and promoted on Lee Y-DNA Project false claims.
The denial of the Lees of Virginia Lost Descendant lines continues on, even in these times all because of false Lee Y-DNA Project claims, although the internet has opened new frontiers of knowledge, as Federal Census records and documentation that was previously blocked from our view are now accessible - as birth, marriage and death publications are now available-making it possible to prove the existence of this lineage and that it does live on-through the thousands of GEDCOM files available on genealogy sites worldwide, through updated public use of DNA matching and tools - and even though the facts are there, the denial of these proud descendants goes...
Presenting 'Richard and Anne' which is a historical biography of the lives of Col Richard Lee and his wife Anne Constable, who progenerated the famous Lees of Virginia.
Recently I have been able to prove with Autosomal DNA the Lee descendants of General Robert E Lee and his slave Nancy Ruffin, adding their lineage proudly to our Lee's of Virginia descendancy from Col Richard Lee and Anne Constable.
For hundreds of years, the Lees of Virginia descendants of Col. Richard Lee's son, William Lee, have been denied their heritage- denied their birthright by historians and scholars that refuse to allow the truth to be known, referring to the descendants of William Lee and his wife Alice Felton as the "Lost Descendants of William Lee".
Many wrongly suggested that MacBeth died without sons, Jacqueli Finley claims that MacBeth left young sons at the time of his death at the Battle of Lumphanan, 1057. Under Celtic Brehon Law, these princes were too young to take the Scottish throne, and were passed over in favour of their cousin, Lulach, who was was killed months later by the Saxons who placed Malcom III on the Scottish throne.
I will be presenting the evidence to prove up that Richard Lee born 1677 was the son of William Lee and grandson of Colonel Richard Lee from which hundreds of Lees of Virginia descendants lines derive even though they have been denied the acknowledgment of their rightful ancestry.
In 1988, a study by William Thorndale was published in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, he stated that his research proved that Col Richard Lee was the son of a John Leyes, a clothier, and his wife Jane Hancock in Worcester England. I have discovered that there is no evidence of historical documentation that can back up Thorndale's claim.
