I've been genealogizing for about 10 years. Most of my wife's and my forebears are from the Midwest, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, New York, New England; and before that, from the upper left-hand corner of Europe. If I'm not here, you can often find me at Midwestern Microhistory.

Most of my data, with some sources and a LOT more surnames, is on Rootsweb at Ancestor Exchange!

Some stories and article links at the genealogy wiki WeRelate.

About the picture: more than half a century ago my folks stopped at a motel or hotel, and I wouldn't sit or stand still to eat my supper. So Mom plunked me in a handy wastebasket (hard to see in this image) and I happily ate away!
