I started genealogy research about mid-1999. My grandfather had passed away in April of that year. About the same time I had run across an article in our local paper about a new website that was opening called FamilySearch.org by the Latter-Day Saints (and how hard it was hit on day one.) This sparked something in me. It made me realize that if I want to get the most out of my genealogy, I’d probably get a lot more information from the people that knew some of these older ancestors, my grandparents. Unfortunately, one of my major brick walls in my research is my Zalewski line, whom my Grandpa Zalewski would’ve probably been pretty helpful with. I’m hoping that this site can help me a little bit with that.

Since then I’ve done a lot of research not only for myself, but for friends and other relatives. I feel like I’ve learned a lot from my time doing this, especially with the advent of the Internet. It’s been a big help.

I have been designing sites since about 1996. After many years of practice I have implemented many new web technologies into my sites. I have worked with all sorts of web technologies and my experience keeps growing.

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee with a degree in Management Information Systems. I work as the Corporate Web Developer at a large media-based company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
