Tim Doyle and his grandmother, Audrey (Whitney) Doyle

My name is Tim Doyle and I have been working on tracing my family history since I was 11 (that was 30 years ago). One of my great grandmothers showed me a small family history book, and I just had to chart it out to visualize it. I then realized that none of my other lines went back as far, and I started asking for more information. My mother pointed me to my baby book, which had all lines back to my great grandparents, but I wasn't satisfied. Mom suggested I talk to my great grandparents (I had four alive, one on each side, until I was in my teens) and see what they might know. I spent numerous occasions talking with them about what they knew, their childhoods, their parents and grandparents. I feel as though I personally know my family back about 5 generations on each side because of this. Over the years my skills improved as I continued to research my lines. I had my database online which included what I believed to be my correct Whitney lineage. This database was seen by A. Whitney Brown back in 1997 and she posted a note to the mailing list about it. Robert L. Ward reviewed my database and noticed that the lineage that I had was wrong, and notified both the list as well as me personally. I joined the WRG shortly after this. Because of the spirit of this group, I decided to jump right in and help out others who might be in the same situation that I was in.

My WRG Projects:

• In 1999, I was project coordinator for the WRG Pierce Project which transcribed the entire 664 pages of the book The Descendants of John Whitney.
• In 1999, I worked with Robert L. Ward to create the www.whitneygen.org website.
• In 2006, I worked with Robert L. Ward to create this new wiki version of the website (project ongoing).

• My Sandbox - an area that I use to test things out.
