Personal Activities

Shaffer Family Genealogy

My biggest personal interest is my family history and genealogy. I've compiled a series of simple web pages to provide information to interested family members and others. These make use of the Gedcom to HTML conversion software from Gene Stark. Here are two links into my genealogy information:

• Family Tree!  Here is a nice, though large, graphic showing many of my ancestral surnames.
• Genealogical Home Page  Jump to my Genealogical Home Page.

Happy GenSurfing!

Other Interests

While I've not taken the time yet to post anything here on these subjects, some of my other personal interests include the following:

• Music, especially acoustical, and most especially Bluegrass.
• Microscopy - actually a "professional" interest, but its an avocation as well.
• Photography, especially scientific.
• Model Railroading - This one is dormant, but I hope to rekindle it some day.
• Good friends, conversations, etc.
