With a hat tip to the National Genealogical Society as well as Dick Eastman, here’s a little video clip from noted genealogist Elizabeth Shown Mills reminding us not to put our ancestors (or anyone, for that matter), into a box. Good stuff.
I am an amateur genealogist and a professional technologist, having experience in both areas that goes back to the 1980s (at least).
My genealogical interests really began in 1979 when my grandfather died.
Computers & technology have been primary interests since the early 1980s. My first personal computer was an Apple IIe bought shortly after they first became available.
