TuckerResearch is from the e-mail address I chose to receive all my genealogy related material back in high school, and it sort of evolved into my screen name of choice for all scholarly topics.
I am originally from Killeen, Texas , and earned a Bachelor's degree and Master's degree in History from Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas . I wrote my master's thesis on the boomtown-turned-ghosttown of Thurber, Texas . In the fall of 2006 , I started work on my Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Arlington , in the field of Transatlantic History . I completed my Ph.D. in spring 2011.[ 1] [ 2] Texas Tech University Press accepted my revised master’s thesis for publication. It was published as Macaroni, Oysters, and Beer: Thurber, Texas, and the Company Store in fall 2012.[ 3]
On the scholarly front, I've written about Thurber, Texas , La Salle , Vincenzo Coronelli , Hans Staden and Ulrich Schmidel , José de Escandón , and place-names in Mexican Texas . I am interested in the history of cartography , especially maps of the early Spanish Empire , syncretization (or creolization ) of toponyms in the New World , toponymy , discovery and exploration, and Texas history , especially during the nineteenth century.
I am professor of history at Temple College in Temple, Texas .[ 4]

As an old school Baptist I believe stridently in individual soul liberty and the separation of church and state .
I lean towards the mystics in my direct relationship with God, and thus my beliefs, depending on my mood, may be informed by the Kabbalah , Christian Kabbalah , Messianic Judaism , Gnosticism , Hermetica , Reincarnation , and even some Sufism .
