Welcome!

I am excited you have found my website. I am passionate about helping people learn more about genealogy, DNA and technology so they can expand their knowledge and find more ancestors.

My primary effort is in teaching others. The listing of my courses can be found here on the website. I have taught courses for genealogical societies across the US and Canada.

I have been researching my own family since I was fifteen years old. My family stories are also hosted here to connect with others on the same journey.

“In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.”
