I originally bought this domain name and started this blog to focus on data science and social science research, but in recent years my interest and passion has shifted to genealogy and family history. I’ve been interested in genealogy for many years (I remember going to the Genealogy reading room at the Library of Congress in 2000 or 2001 to access sources that weren’t yet online!), but with the advent of genetic genealogy and digital access to so many sources around the world, my interest has turned into a full-blown obsession. So I’m pivoting the focus of the blog and hope to publish regularly. I’d like to share my skills and findings with family members as well as other genealogists and family historians.
