Hi

Just a note to introduce my self. I am billgreen. My nane is actually William Green. I have been working in family history, off and on for most of my life. I started my Book of Remembrance when I was 16. I did some research when I was in graduate school at the University of Washington, and found much of my fifth generation in the census records in Seattle.

A couple of years ago, I was ordained a High Priest. In the blessing, I was told to use my talent in research (I got my BS in Chemistry from BYU, and an MS in Chemistry from the University of Washington) to search for my ancestors and teach and help others to do the same. So I started working in family history again.

My own family history goes back to colonial times in Georgia and Virginia. My ancestors migrated to the United States from England, France, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, and Switzerland. The first arrived in Jamestown. One of my ancestors was born in Norfolk, Virginia in 1615. The last arrived as a mercenary from Germany, fighting for the Americans in 1781.

However, right now, I am not doing much with my own family history. I am currently on an extended stay in Bucuresti, Romania. I am helping set up family history programs here. One of my goals is to set up a research wiki in Romanian for family history research in Romania. I am hoping to have a mirror pages in English, too. The English pages are already on the wiki. You can see them at the Romania Portal Page. As the Romanian pages are developed and translated, they are posted on one of my blogs: http://www.ihcercetare.blogspot.com.

If you are interested in Romania, I have a blog at http://www.romaniangringo.blogspot.com, and one about the scriptures at http://www.terrangringo.blogspot.com

Multumesc pe interes sau!
