Semi-retired from clinical information technology & teaching. I've been doing computer-based family tree record keeping for almost 40 years now. Only recently have I become sufficiently conscientious that I can call it genealogy. I started after a 1976 family reunion when 3 of us casually drew family trees on a paper tablecloth as we interviewed various matriarchs and patriarchs. My mom saved it and presented it to me, saying "I had to fight my cousin for this, but I said that you work on computers and would do something with it, so do it!". (There were 636 names on that tablecloth; I still have it.)
I now have a website that uses the TNG genealogy software package, which I also actively modify.
I live in Cleveland, Ohio, but have moved a lot. My roots are in Texas and Tennessee, and points east. Over 250 of my direct ancestors died in America, going back to Plymouth Colony, Jamestown, and New Amsterdam. Mostly British Isles, Dutch, and a little German.
