Robert B. Noles
Rob retired from McDermott, Inc. (The Babcock & Wilcox Company) in 1994 after a 31 year career involving the design and manufacture of nuclear power plant components, primarily for the U.S. Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program for the Navy's fleet of nuclear powered submarines and aircraft carriers. He is a 1963 graduate of the University of Kentucky with a B.S. in mechanical engineering.
Rob has spent the past 13 years as a full time genealogist. In addition to the traditional family genealogies in his database, Rob has added genealogies for the U.S. Presidents, Western Civilization Royalty, the Pilgrims, Magna Carta signers, Bible personalities, etc. A major effort for Rob's database has been the addition of all known genealogies for the southeast Georgia region known as Wiregrass Georgia.
Rob serves as the Director for the national Knowles/Knoles/Noles Family Association

Rob is the Project Administrator or a Co-Administrator for the following Surname and Regional DNA Projects with Family Tree DNA:
Surname Projects: Bagley, Beha, Bicksler (Bixler), Courson, Finnell (Fennell), Hersey
(Hursey), Knowles (Noles), Knox, Marvel, Noble(s), Paulk, Prettyman, Pulley, Rowell and
Spell(s).

Wiregrass Georgia / Lumbee Tribe Regional DNA Projects
The Wiregrass Georgia DNA Project is for the living descendants of the pioneers of the Wiregrass Region of Georgia (southeast Georgia) and the neighboring area of northern Florida. The pioneers of this region in the 1800s were primarily from the Carolinas, who were seeking their claim for the land opening up for new settlers in Georgia. This DNA project permits comparisons of Y-DNA test results across the spectrum of Wiregrass families in conjunction with the use of the Wiregrass Family Database maintained by Robert B. Noles and the resources of the Huxford Genealogical Society Library. The Wiregrass Georgia Database contains the genealogies for approximately 175,000 people including the original pioneers and their descendants.
The Lumbee Tribe DNA Project was initiated because the Wiregrass Georgia DNA Project was identifying participants who were likely the descendants of the Native American tribes from the Carolinas. Genealogies for these descendants are being added to the Wiregrass Georgia Database.
