🙂 Who Am I?
Hi! I’m Rev. Dr. Jonathan Mills UE; a retired Pastor, lifelong researcher, and avid genealogist. I find building my family tree exciting and enjoyable because I love discovering new sources, connecting with other genealogists, and producing a family story to share with my children and subsequent generations.
I am also an avid cyclist, computer enthusiast, world traveller, musician, and student of cross-cultural relations. Oh yeah … I am also a husband and father of 7 grown children.

All opinions are my own. This is my work for the benefit of interested individuals who wish to develop their family tree.
