Title: Biographies of Our Paternal Family History
Author(s) Marc D. Thompson

 

“Honor your own stories and tell them too…they are what binds families and makes each of us who we are.”

 

If you don’t recount your family history, it will be lost. The tales may not seem very important, but they are what binds families and makes each of us who we are.

Marc D. Thompson delved into writing and researching at a very early age. As a youngster, he wrote stories, poems, lyrics, and articles. Marc continued putting pen to paper and studying genealogy throughout college, earning a B.S. degree from Moravian College. He has presented genealogical lectures and authored numerous family histories for himself and others.

 

Marc’s other published works include Compendium of Virtual and Traditional Fitness, The Fitness Book of Lists, Virtual Personal Training Manual, Fitness Quotes of Humorous Inspiration, and Poems of Eternal Moments. He wrote a monthly genealogy column for Atlantic Avenue Magazine and currently pens a monthly genealogy and fitness blog at www.marcdthompson.net.

 

Marc is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, founder of a Pennsylvania Genealogy Society, and was the County Coordinator of the USGenweb Chatham Co, GA site. He believes in Creatalytical Thinking: the fusion of creativity and analysis to view life more fully and fulfill his place in this world. Writing now for over four decades, Marc has been influenced by history, science, art, and relationships, and marvels at the cosmically-driven direction he receives each day from energy around him to record his ideas and research.
