Let me tell you a bit about myself
I've been researching my family tree since 1990. I started with a few handwritten letters exchanged between my grandmother and myself. From there I was hooked.
My lines are Azorean, French, Irish, Australian, and British. My Azorean lines stretch to before 1400 and hit royalty, so I am all over Europe and a little bit of the Middle East.
I was once a volunteer chat host for AOL's Golden Gate Genealogy Forum. I was also a volunteer moderator and part of the web design staff for Genealogy Chats Inc. (aka GenealogyForum.org)
I branched off on my own to create IslandRoutes.com, a place where Portuguese Hawaiian genealogists could learn about their heritage. It has recently morphed into YourIslandRoutes.com.
I run the blog, The Research Journal. Here I explore all branches of my tree. I try to share my knowledge of genealogy research as well as explore different aspects of family history.
Hope to find others researching the same areas as me--and maybe a cousin or two!
