Introduction

[Wab]

Hello

My name is Wab and I was diagnosed with Aspergers at 9, now 20, turning 21 next month.

My interests are 70s/80s music (particularly The Band, Pat Benatar, Laura Branigan, Leonard Cohen, Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, Rainbow, The Rolling Stones, Santana, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Neil Young), dogs, birds and my family tree. I have four dogs (Boxer x Staffie, Samoyed, Australian Terrier, Golden Retriever x Samoyed) and a bird (Cockatiel). I also have a collection of over 500 vinyl records.

I'm a genius at my family tree, I've traced back to the 17th century and found ancestors from England, New Zealand and Scotland.

I'm a genius at my family tree, I've traced back to the 17th century and found ancestors from England, New Zealand and Scotland.

Also, I'm also interested in genealogy, I am a member of the Sons of the American Revolution and have traced several of my lines back to the 1700's.

 

[Wab]

Wow, that's cool. I've also scanned many of my old family photos to preserve for future generations, all sorted by year/decade. I'm the only person in my whole family with the largest collection of scanned photos on a computer.

 

[Manuheleku]

Nice, I have a picture of my g-grandfather with my grandfather from a newspaper clipping and a picture that is probably my gg-grandfather and his wife. Lots of census data from Tennessee and death and birth certificates.

 

[Wab]

My great-grandfather was Deputy Mayor of Eastbourne (Wellington, NZ) and his father was a Methodist preacher and blacksmith.

 

[Manuheleku]

Most of my ancestors were farmers and moonshiners with a judge thrown in there for good measure! On another line I have a blacksmith who moved to Texas. Also, soldiers who fought in every war in this country.

 

[Manuheleku]

Anyway, where are my manners, welcome aboard!

 

[Wab]
