I have been doing genealogy for many years, with a primary focus on Canada, US, and Europe.
I created my first how to (reproduced and updated here) for genealogy many years ago and have created this page to help others with researching their family history.
I recently started volunteering with a local genealogy society and in that role I have delivered both online and conference presentations. Some of the content is based on those presentations.
As you explore this site you will see I have a passion for technology, maps, and finding historic locations.
I do almost all my reserach online using free sites, so most of the content on this site can be followed from your home computer.
