A genealogy nut since I was a kid, I’ve been working on a paternal history book for the better part of a decade.

I’ve helped several family members and friends trace biological members of their family trees and have been creating my own tree with over 5,400 verified members. My family roots are primarily in the United Kingdom region, but I’ve also got smaller traces of French and German.

Currently, I’m the keeper of several (boxes of) old photographs and research papers that my own grandparents worked on when they were alive. I’m hoping to solve a few mysteries that stumped them in my lifetime.
