Since I DO have a website of my own now, I figured I'd fill it with the same assorted nonsense that pretty much everybody has bogged down the reading, and web-searching public. (Except for porn- I have little time, and less patience for that crap...)
Since I picked up the genealogy bug, I've gotten pretty far with tracing back the ol' gene pool (And what a dark, and mysterious place THAT is!) I can't claim any real credit for my research- most of it was just unearthing old data, clamping on to research done by some very competent distant cousins (One, from the Attwood branch, from Kent, England, lives in New Zealand!)
Since I found a laptop that was being thrown away, I cleaned it up, and installed Linux on it, I've been rather satisfied with the outcome; OK, so, the onboard camera doesn't function, so? It's not like I'm Hollywood material! (Well, unless you count Swamp Thing...)
One very good site is Family Search, where I found data I didn't find on Ancestry.com
I'll put more on here, eventually, but right now I've got applications to fill out, and interviews to arrange (I hope) If you know of any tech positions or clerical positions open in Central Jersey, I'd appreciate a shout.
Just so you don't waste your time thinking if this guy knows what he's doing, here's the ol' resume......
(I took out the address and phone, but I'm on LinkdIn.
