I started this project as something to do during the COVID-19 quarantine. I am also undergoing an autologous stem cell transplant in August of 2020 for the treatment of a rare blood disorder called AL Amyloidosis. I plan on working on my tree during my recovery while I am in isolation.
2021 update: Great news, I received the latest blood work results, and my doctor says that I am in complete remission as of December 20, 2021. Only one year after going through a stem cell transplant, chemo, and a three-week hospital stay. I have plans to continue working on my family tree, as of Apr 2023 I have connected over 2500 relatives. Along the way I have found some large branches, some stray leaves, a few twigs and a lot of nuts.

Biography
Born on August 3, 1968, at Alvin General Hospital in Alvin, Texas. He was born one month premature and came out breech. He had a happy childhood growing up in Alvin, Houston and Sheldon Communities. He excelled in sports, playing baseball, football, basketball, and running track. After graduating from C E King High School in Houston, Texas, Dennis earned a scholarship in Chemistry at San Jacinto Junior College. During this time, Dennis work at Big Chief Supermarket where he became a manager at the age of 19. After Graduating with an Associates of Arts degree from San Jacinto College, Dennis moved on to attend Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. He attended classes there for five semesters before returning home to take a break and reassess his goals in life.
During this time, Dennis had applied for several higher paying jobs at chemical plants in the Pasadena and Baytown area in Texas. Through the help of a family friend, he was able to get hired by Ethyl Chemical Corp. in their Quality Control Lab. There he managed to earn more money and he was able to move out of his childhood home by age 23. While the work at Ethyl (Which later became Albemarle Chemicals) was steady, shift work didn't really agree with him, and he found a way to adjust his schedule so that he could enroll at the University of Houston as a part-time student. By taking two classes a semester, year-round, Dennis was able to earn his Baccalaureate Degree in English Literature with a minor in Chemistry in May of 1999.
Around the same time, Dennis began working part-time for a company called 24 Hour Fitness. He started there as a Floor attendant and worked his way up to a Personal Trainer/Manager. Over nine years and six different gyms, Dennis met thousands of people from all walks of life including Olympic and professional athletes, television personalities, Mothers, Fathers, Grandparents, politicians, and their families.
One of the most important people that Dennis met that would change his life was Susan Lackson. They met at the gym in The Woodlands, Texas after being introduced by one of his clients who happened to one of her friends. They married on November 5, 2005, at 5:00 pm at The Woodlands United Methodist Church. They have one daughter and one son.

Congratulations on being in complete remission from Amyloidosis! I hope you found joy while working on your family tree - connecting over 20,000 relatives is certainly a remarkable accomplishment.
Have you considered participating in one of WikiTree's Connect-A-Thons? It's an opportunity to add new profiles, whether or not they are family members. The next one will run from Friday, April 22nd to Monday, April 25th. I encourage you to sign up in the G2G forum registration post (https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1392037) and add another badge to your collection. I invite you to join the Mid-Atlantic Team since your Nichols branch has ties to Pennsylvania and Connecticut.
I added the Civil War Sticker to your profile for you. This is the profile https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Morgan-34270
Thanks for your membership in the Civil War Project.

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Review the project pages for special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.
Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles#Cite_reliable_sources).

Thank you for joining us! I hope you're enjoying our site and our community. I just wanted to check in and see how things are going. Has the New Member How To Pages been helpful or has it left you with questions?
It's great to have you on board. Enjoy your time here, and good luck growing your branches. If you need help be sure to use the "reply link" for this comment so that I will be notified. You can also click my name to send a private message, or post a comment on my profile page.

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.
Thank you for signing the Honor Code and for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.
Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.
The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.
To get the best results, continue adding sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to ancestors already in WikiTree. If you have exhausted what you know on one line, it can sometimes help to add what you know on another line. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.
Let me know if you have any questions, and have fun!

A warm welcome to WikiTree. You are now a member and can add your family to the big tree!
Click here to start with our New Member How To Pages. They will save you time, energy and frustration as you add your family profiles.
I hope you enjoy WikiTree as much as I have. You never know when you will find a lost family member or ancestor. Or maybe find a hidden family secret about an ancestor. Genealogy to me is like being a detective looking for clues into the past.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm always happy to help!
