“ adistantroar said: Wow! That’s really kind of you. Is it alright if I ask how you started teaching geneology?”
Because I apparently lack tumblr skills I’m copying and pasting. When I was little my parents were really into genealogy (they locked eyes in a genealogy class) and so all growing up we would go on road trips and rocked out in county record offices. And then I served an LDS mission at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. After that a series of opportunities and experiences happened and people I’ve worked with asked me to teach classes for their workers or at their family history fair(e?)s.
I know there’s a shortage of people willing to stand up and teach what they know about genealogy and so I always end up saying yes, even though I go into fits about it. I don’t teach at a school, sorry if it sounded like that, just as people I know ask me to teach.

Answering adistantroar again, I do a lot of general websites and tech used in genealogy stuff. But my specialties are British Isles, US, Canada – especially British Canada, Sweden and reading old documents of Romantic languages. I could theoretically teach a class on any number of things under those topics. But like I said I usually end up doing uses of modern resources in genealogy. That’s generally what people need.
