I am a keen genealogist who has been researching his family history since 1997, I write the genealogy blog Ancestral Wormhole.

My home town is Chester in the county of Cheshire (England, UK).  I enjoy exploring the history of the local area which has its origins in Roman times.

Due to redundancy I had the opportunity to retire early – I jumped at the chance!  Hence I can now spend more time digging for my family tree roots and growing the branches. I also devote time helping family and friends develop their genealogy and family history.  On the family front I have recently become a grandfather and am looking forward to spending time playing with my new grandson.

I started blogging on 14 February 2011.  Please check out my other blog at www.ancestralwormhole.com where you will find my ramblings about my family history and other related subjects. I share research, explore genealogy tools and comment on family history news.  I must also admit to being a bit of a gadget geek!
