I am a retired online school teacher. I love family history. From 2007-2020, I spent much of my time providing part-time support for the world's largest free family history site https://familysearch.org This is very rewarding. I have helped others with the Family Tree and related FamilySearch products.
In 2010-2018 I served in the Edmonton_Alberta_Riverbend_Family_History_Centre..I have a FHC blog at Bill's Family History Center Blog Since 2020 I have been a family history consultant for Edmonton Alberta North Stake.

I depend upon the Internet for so much, especially when I work in FamilySearch Support. Even the telephone calls are mostly VOIP. So when we got home last Saturday and my Internet connection was down, I immediately contacted my ISP and they ran some tests and said they would need to send a technician. Sunday is mostly church-related activities, so it wasn't much of a problem. But when Monday rolled around I spent time digging potatoes from the garden and looking for other things around the house that needed doing. Tuesday was more of the same. Likewise Wednesday until I left for Edmonton in the afternoon. Thursday the tech was here, ran some tests and replaced the transmitter/receiver module on the satellite dish. Now all is well! Yesterday I spent about 11 hours on FamilySearch Support, doing 7 batches of Indexing, 8 incoming telephone calls for FamilySearch and replying to email messages. It was tiring, but it felt good!
