Hi there! I've been an amateur genealogist the last 15 years, give or take. I have a lot of experience in the shift of old records to online, and can find a lot of obscure records that are available (or not). My goal in research is to always find the hints that no one else would think to look at. My background is in Dutch/German and Irish genealogy, as well as, verses in Canadian work. I do struggle with colonial-era research, which I try to improve upon. My goal is to bring real-life places and locations to new researchers, and patch holes in timelines that can lead to new discoveries. I'm your friend. - David
