About Me

I am a semi-retired educator/university faculty/researcher. I intend to use this page to link to other wiki projects of interest to me. I am currently researching genealogy, specifically GermanSpeaking Swiss Mennonite ancestors. I have located a wealth of resources and will summarize in linked locations below.

Most of my work is found at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Olsen-10349#Ancestors
