Welcome:
The study of history has been my passion and now is a full time job. Four unique history books demonstrate my desire to explain historical events objectively and present them in a readable form that everyone can enjoy.
Genealogy work continues - see Treesbydan.com.
Whether in books, videos, web pages or PowerPoint presentations, history stories are based on deep-dive research and real documents as much as possible!

Notice of Major Change!
On April 1, 2026, the publishing of data to www.treesbydan.com was modified to simplify the process. Now, only family tree data is included on that site and all other textual documents have been moved to the TreesByDan.com menu item on this web site. This change also follows the general migration of history stories to my main site and way from the genealogy site.
