I am a geology professor by trade, but genealogy is one of my passions. I have been doing genealogy since I was about 10 years old along with my mother, aunt, and grandmother. In addition to teaching geology and science classes, I have taught genealogy and family history for the past few years. I also serve as director of a volunteer family history center with about 45 volunteer staff. It's a great way to spend a few hours each week.
