I've been doing genealogy for 30 years, but only in the past five or so
have I been doing it professionally. The only income I derive other than
from my stock market or real estate investments, is by my genealogy
services.

If I am not wrong Will was selling real-estate? Perhaps I am wrong and
that was somebody else?

Only as an investor, I don't have a real estate license so I've never sold
anyone else's property.
I have a B.A. from Northwestern University in Computer Studies and Math, a
dual-major.
I originally went to get a degree in Astrophysics but it was too much
Physics and not enough Astro for me, so I switched to Math. Then I
learned that Math degrees have a hardway in the world today, getting stuck
teaching grade-school or else turning into Accountants.
Didn't sound so charming, so I switched again to Computer Science. By
that time I'd already had half the Math requirements done, so I doubled it
and took a degree in both at the same time.
It was only in my last two years that I discovered that I really enjoy
History much more then computers, but by that time I could not get a
degree in that. But I did take 12 courses which qualifies as a "Minor" in
any other University, except Northwestern doesn't have Minors.
I have a library of several hundred books, almost entirely non-fiction,
mostly concentrated on science, math, religion (wait I said non-fiction
!!), and the classics (I mean the old classics, Sophocles, Euripides, St
Augustine, etc.)

I was born in 1963, I am a Virgo, I have all my limbs, hair and eyesight
(no glasses!). I've had two long-term relationships (each more than 8
years), no children, no pets.
My office is a typical disaster in stacked books and papers all over the
place which I don't have time to organize.
