About Me

James F. Carroll: I am a married, Mormon chiropractic student. I am new to genealogy and family history research. Son of user:wwcarroll. I'm happy to collaborate on research projects with distant cousins. Feel free to contact me with any questions. My expertise is wiki's, blogs, and general web technologies. I'd like to learn how how to do family history effectively. I am on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and I have a blog. The best way to contact me regarding family history / genaeology is through this wiki or via email.

I use this wiki for my todo's and project notes, and research. When I feel confident about new information I have gathered, I record it in New FamilySearch, which is currently under transition to FamilySearch Family Tree. I welcome your collaboration on those platforms as well as here on WeRelate. I have a lot to learn from you, and I am here to help you where I can.
