Larry Youngblood - Bio
Larry Youngblood holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physics from Texas A&M University '71 with an emphasis on Math and Computer Science. He taught physics, math and computer science in high school before joining the Oil Industry specializing first in writing engineering software and later training engineers, geophysicists and accountants in using the software. He sold his oil and gas software company in 1999 and the software, updated to the latest languages, is still being used today and going forward. Word, Excel and PowerPoint were necessities in this role. He and his wife Marie have two children – Christina and James (a YDNA member).
Larry is following in the footsteps of his father's passion to find out about his ancestors by researching at the Houston Clayton Library in the 1970's and travelling from San Antonio across the south to North Carolina rummaging in basements for more detailed records. After his father's passing, having little success on his ultimate goal, Family Tree DNA and the YDNA theory gave him an understanding and a path to accomplish his father’s goal … Larry’s goal. There are always new goals.
He has been a Project Administrator now for 19+ years using the Family Tree YDNA Tools and enjoying all the time working with others. Autosomal DNA has opened a few new doors to the females in our family tree as well as slave descendants. Each year Family Tree has a large meeting to continue to bring the project up to date on the latest findings...This year will be the 18th? International Conference on Genetic Genealogy. His family book - Youngblood-Armstrong and Allied Families by Francis and Floelle Youngblood was ultimately his guide to find through YDNA his ancestral connection…even though his branch was left out by confusion of given names from 1795. He has now written and emailed to Youngblood contacts a document of corrections and updates based on the findings of YDNA Project and the “Lost Lines” of the Youngblood families back to 1700s immigrant Quakers in Pennsylvania. Many of my cousins moved to the North East area of Texas in the 1800s. Our Youngblood family book is presented and is readable on Family Search (a free sign up)
