− | The CountyHistorian website was established February 2007 by me Will Johnson, Professional Genealogist, Biographer and Historian. I've been doing genealogy as a hobby for 30 years, and professionally for the last six. Although I started this business doing genealogy, I found that it's the process of documenting that I enjoy. This naturally led to pursuing articles that weren't strictly about a person's family tree. I've writen several biographical articles without really finding out much about the person's ancestors. Also I've writen histories of companies and organizations. I may be reached at [mailto:wjhonson@aol.com wjhonson@aol.com]
