Genealogy
- Descendants of John McAfee, Sr. - This site is a compilation of over eight years' worth of research on my McAfee line, beginning with my 8th-great-grandfather, John McAfee Sr., of Scotland and Co. Armagh, Ireland.
- The Works of Robert B. McAfee - Robert B. McAfee, one of the more famous McAfee relations, was a politician and historian. Here are transcriptions of his biography of the McAfee family, a history of New Providence Presbyterian Church in Mercer Co., KY, and his journal from the War of 1812.
- O'Donnells of Carna Parish, Co. Galway, Ireland - Extractions of O'Donnell surnames from the Marriage and Baptismal records of Carna Parish in Co. Galway. Transcribed during my trip to Ireland in July, 2000.
- King and O'Donnell Families of Ireland and Minnesota - My research on my King and O'Donnell lines, beginning with my 2nd-great grandparents, Bartley and Anne (Ridge) O'Donnell (of Rusheenamanagh, Co. Galway, Ireland) and John and Mary (Green) King (of Ireland, county unknown). Both families settled in St. Paul, Ramsey Co., Minnesota.
- McAfee Surname Board - This is a Rootsweb-sponsored resource for the McAfee family, which I administer. Includes McAfee-specific search engines, links, and message boards.

- Lewis Co., WA GenWeb Project - This site is part of the US GenWeb Project. I started the page in December, 1996, and it has grown into substantial collection of queries, family lines and actual data submitted by Lewis Co. researchers.
- WA Biographies Project - This site is part of the US Biographies Project, with the aim of transcribing biographies of Washington residents from old histories and biographies published before 1924. I began this page in 1998.
- OR Biographies Project - This site is part of the US Biographies Project, with the aim of transcribing biographies of Oregon residents from old histories and biographies published before 1924. I took over this project in 2000 from the orginal site coordinator.
- Books We Own - BWO is a volunteer service in which contributors offer to do lookups from books of genealogical or historical value in their own libraries. The list was begun in 1996 by members of the ROOTS-L mailing list, and has grown into a substantial collection of 1600+ volunteers and 5,000+ resources. I took over as the fourth site coordinator in February, 1997.
Science
Caenorhabditis elegans Resources - a list of resourcesw and tips for educators interested in using the nematode C. elegans in the classroom. I developed this site while a graduate student in Jim Priess's lab at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA.
"Giving Students Feedback and Assigning Grades" - materials I prepared for a workshop for teaching assistants at the University of Washington. Many of these resources are applicable to any educator looking for information on effective strategies for providing feedback and assessing student learning.
