Kay and Ralph Beverly
Ralph Beverly and his wife Catherine (Kay) are retired, Ralph from a 32-year management career with Ford Motor Company and Kay from 15 years of handwriting analysis for personnel selection. They have been doing genealogy as a hobby on their own families for about 15 years. They are the parents of three grown children and six grandchildren. Other hobbies include University of Louisville sports, raising a few orchids, and fine dining.
Ralph and Kay find genealogy research a great way to stay mentally active in retirement and continue to collaborate on the Colonial Families of Delaware series.

Kay's family lines are Mosley, Cornett, Benge and Noe. She has traced her direct line back to Pocahontas and John Rolfe. Her line is from Southeastern Kentucky and Virginia, emigrating from England and Ireland.

Ralph's family lines are Beverly, Doll, Twenty, Meriwether and Sipple of Delaware. Branches of his tree have been traced back to the 1500s in England. His maternal side emigrated from Germany in the mid-1800s and he has traced them back several generations in Germany.
