This Friday, NBC is beginning a program that has famous people discovering their ancestry.  Of course they will have a bunch of expert genealogists helping them and will possess a huge budget to travel and research.  Nonetheless, it is expected to spark interest in Genealogy.  I thought I made a February post to this site, but was shocked not to find it today.   Our Vaughan research group has been mainly focused on DNA research since the first of the year.  Often I’m convinced that our Vaughan line has been largely ‘researched out’.   Still, with new people getting into the hobby, you never know what new information you will find.  Our Vaughans are well documented on the web, and any Vaughan researcher who types in “William Vaughan and Fereby Benton” into a search engine will probably find one of our sites.  I’d like to update some of our sites to have more current information that would better help these newcomers.  I wish some of the others in our group would take this level of interest, so much of the time the group seems on the verge of a coma.   But when you’ve researched all you can on a line, what more can you really do?  Maryland is a state that needs to be looked at in Colonial times, as John Vaughan had land there after the Revolutionary War.  Maybe this is a spark to get the fire going again.
