Edgar Amaya is a professional genealogist, writer, and nomad. His globetrotting began in San Luis Potosí (Mexico). Next, he arrived in Chicago, where his Polish, Irish, Mexican, Slovenian, and Croatian ancestors converged. Edgar's mix of cultures and languages led to learning the record types of each branch.

While living in Salt Lake City, he completed genealogy programs with Boston University and Salt Lake Community College. After living in Porto (Portugal) and A Coruña (Galicia, Spain), he is back in Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain). He continues to document and be inspired by the forces of nature contained in his matrilineal line.

His research has been published in Zarja (Slovenian Union of America), Chicago Genealogist (Chicago Genealogical Society), and Rodziny (The Polish Genealogical Society of America). For more information, please visit www.edgar-amaya.com.
