Whitcomb Introduction

Greetings everyone in these forums,

I imagine on your forums here, I will be a troll. I imagine most here have more knowledge and wisdom than I do, and I am always looking to listen to knowledgable people.

In person, I am a bit timid, due to some health issues, except when the topic turns to things I enjoy and can contribute. Those topics are computer related things (I started playing (not working) with computers in 1972. I first was "on the internet" in 1974, and I got the "genealogy bug" from my grandmother.

On a crazy whim I moved to Pamplona, Spain for eight years. I learned English by the "sink or swim" method, which was more dangerous than running with the bulls! I had some health issues last year so moved back to the U.S. Specifically Utah.

Part of my sink or swim experience was being shunned by the Church during my eight years in Pamplona. Now I spend my time, starting life again here and LOVING the Family History Library where I can use my Spanish skills to help others while finding my German ancestors.
