Stephen J. Danko was born in Albany, New York. Through the years he has lived in Vermont, Nebraska, and Oregon, and currently reside in San Francisco, California.
Steve earned a B.S. in Chemistry from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, and a Ph.D. in Botany and Plant Pathology from Oregon State University. He is currently studying for a Professional Learning Certificate in Genealogical Studies from the National Institute for Genealogical Studies.
All of Steve’s grandparents were Polish immigrants, which has led him to concentrate on 20th Century American Records and 18th and 19th Century Polish Records. His research in Poland has led to a new appreciation for European History and Languages.
Since April, 2006, Steve has been writing a daily research blog, where he has posted images of the documents important in his personal research and he discusses the relevance of those records in documenting his family history. In the course of writing this blog, he has reconnected with lost cousins in Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Steve is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, the National Genealogical Society, the California Genealogical Society, the San Mateo County Genealogical Society, the Polish Genealogical Society of America, the Polish Genealogical Society of Connecticut and the Northeast, and the Polish Genealogical Society of California.
