“Bruce started studying his family tree in high school and can even say he started 

using computers in this hobby as early as 1972,though in a very limited way. His 

areas of research includeScandinavia, British Isles, Canada and 

Colonial America. Since 2011,he has participated in DNA testing and he 

joined CAGGNI in January2013. Bruce has been a user of Reunion for Macintosh 

since at least 1998and has used it to build a fairly large family tree and publish it

online with photos and source citations. He has been CAGGNI’s

Reunion SIG leader since January 2015.”
