\"rosie\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Like my oldest daughter’s cats, I, too, wear many hats (although mine are figurative, and not hand crocheted).<\/em><\/p>\n

I love to research, write, create, and share.<\/p>\n

DESIGN<\/strong>:\u00a0In the realm of publications, I am a typesetter first, and graphic designer second.\u00a0After graduating from college, I started Archetype Typesetting in Riverside, California. I sold the business after 13 very successful years, and continued doing freelance work for both large and small clients, creating everything from monthly and quarterly newsletters,\u00a0to postcards, tickets and event flyers for the Botanical Gardens at the University of California, Riverside.<\/p>\n

GENEALOGY<\/strong>: I am\u00a0a professional genealogist, and have lectured in many states and conferences, focusing on finding family stories and quality information online. My handouts are alway pretty dang awesome, as you might imagine \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

As my alter ego and cartoon self, Genie Weezles, I lecture and participate in the genealogy community in the virtual world SecondLife. I was instrumental in chartering the first virtual chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists, the SL chapter APG, which meets monthly in SecondLife.<\/p>\n

Several years ago I developed the RelativelyCurious Internet Genealogy Toolbar<\/em>, which for many years remained a\u00a0wonderfully useful, free browser add on that easily linked users to all of the best genealogy sites, both free and paid. Unfortunately\u00a0the company that provided the platform\u00a0sold out to a far less reputable group who has since snuck as much adware and spyware into the free download as they can manage, so although it breaks my heart, I cannot recommend my own toolbar anymore.\u00a0I am\u00a0currently re-creating link lists on Pinterest and on my genealogy blog, RelativelyCurious.com<\/a>. I also created and maintain the websites FindingFamilyStories.com<\/a>, SLGenealogyGroup.com<\/a>, and participate in writing for\u00a0WikiChicks.wiki<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the past four years I was the Community Assistant for the free online collaborative family tree,\u00a0WikiTree.com. Pretty much the reason my blogs were quiet for, oh… about four years.<\/p>\n

I also do some pretty amazing graphic design work (watch for the new look to STIRPES\u00a0<\/em>\u2013 the Texas State Genealogical Society\u2019s quarterly journal). I take occasional\u00a0freelance work, making researcher\u2019s genealogical research reports into stunning visual family histories.<\/p>\n

FOOD<\/strong>: Food challenges me – I’m always looking for a way to be more organized, economical and healthy. I’ve been doing once-a-month and crockpot cooking since long before it was fashionable. I know what works and what doesn’t work from a lot of trial and error.<\/p>\n

FIBER ARTS<\/strong>:\u00a0Fiber arts fascinate me. I’ve had an obsession for fabric as long as I can remember, starting with handsewing tiny doll clothing during recess when I was five. I love to batik, although I haven’t melted a pot of wax in years. These days I quilt and sew when I have time. \u00a0My latest venture is to\u00a0combine my computer expertise with embroidery digitization skills, to create awesome machine embroidery designs.<\/p>\n

So there you have it. This website is really just a personal space for shameless self promotion – sometimes\u00a0know\"Me\"n as a portfolio.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s me.<\/p>\n
