dinosaur! 
William Clifford Barney grew up in Idaho in the 1940s
and 1950s. After graduation from Wallace High School he went east to
attend the United States Naval Academy. When he arrived in Annapolis,
Maryland in the summer of 1959, he joined 1200 other young men eager to
train for a Navy career. Four long, hard years later, in June of 1963,
he was one of the 876 graduates. Cliff then began training for service
in the Naval Air Force as a pilot, flying carrier-based aircraft. He
continued his education, taught, travelled the world and fulfilled three
tours of duty in Viet Nam during the Conflict. He retired after thirty
plus years as a Navy Captain.
Cliff has been interested in Barney family history
since a young man and started gathering genealogical information early
in his life. Since the advent of the internet and his arrival on it in
the early 1990s, he has been vigorously pursuing that interest and
helping others in search of their Barney forebears.
He is the President and founder of The Barney Family
Historical Association (BFHA) and edits and publishes that association's
quarterly newsletter, The Barney Family News. He is the editor
and co-author of the definitive compendium of Barney genealogy, The
Genealogy of the Barney Family in America.
Cliff met Edna while he was at school in Annapolis and
they have been married for 40 years. After retirement from the Navy, the
couple settled in northern Virginia, near to the Capital City,
Washington. They are the ancestors of three sons and six
grandchildren.
