My name is Glen Deas. I am a licensed Amateur Radio operator since 1962, call sign K5GED, and a licensed pilot since 1967.  I am a proud LA Tech University graduate, and over the years served there as Asst. Professor, Lecturer and Program Chair of the Electrical Engineering Technolgy Program. I am a "Married Into" the Wagoner / Waggoner Family. In 1957 my mother, Elsie Gray-Deas, married C. P. Wagoner, Jr., the grandson of John Thomas Wagoner, one of the 4 brothers who came to the Caldwell/Jackson/Ouachita Parish area circa 1855, either directly or indirectly from the Blount County, Alabama area with their mother Nancy Alice Smalling-Wagoner (and in 1858 Gregory).  It was at one of the early family gatherings that I met my future wife, Elizabeth Ann Avery, the granddaughter of C.P. Wagoner, Sr., though it would take me 40 years to get her to say "Yes" (or was it "why not?"). We will soon celebrate 30 years of marriage.  I had used my computer skills to help in the production of the 1000+ page book on The Easterling Family History in 1990. I supplied the source code to my programming efforts to some Mormon (Church of Latter Day Saints) cousins out in the Salt Lake City area, and, not too surprisingly, soon afterward several of the genealogy programs out there began showing up with programs that did very similar things. In 1995 Ann asked me to help in producing something similar, though much smaller, Wagoner family booklet. So we got to work typing things into the LDS Church Personal Ancestry File program and after a couple of months we were able to generate our "Blue Book" on the Wagoner Family. Over the years we collected more info (and some corrections) and in 2013 we were able to put together the "Yellow Book", which is the subject of this web site.
