I'm a medievalist by training, a former professor. My personal genealogy interests take me into Colonial America, The Deep South, medieval England, France, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Germany, and Norway from the late 19th century on back. On Geni, I'm most interested in the European Middle Ages, especially in the areas where populations intermingle. I'm familiar with English, Middle English, Anglo-Saxon, French, Spanish, Latin, and Irish. Comfortable messing around with German. Used to Welsh genealogy.

If you see that I've been working in your tree, though, and you're pretty sure that we're not close relatives, it will be because as a curator, I work to help clean up the World Tree, so I merge duplicates and resolve data conflicts as part of my regular work on Geni. If I've made a mistake, though, please let me know, and send me your sources! We all of us, curators and users alike, work to make the World Tree accurate.

If you are still unsure of what the concept of a World Family Tree is on Geni, please check out the Geni project: Connecting to the Big Tree for more information about it.
