Mike Gabbard- Currently living in Florida with his partner, but originally from North Carolina, USA. His interest in Genealogy began with the search for his birth father and a brush with the Today show, but is rooted in a long tradition of recounting stories from the family history at every reunion and barbecue (or drop of a hat) among his extensive Southern kin. Active in the Categories project, G2G, and as a Greeter. Particularly interested in North Carolina and Genealogy in the Southern USA.

Abby Glann- Abby started researching her family tree in college, after a short course awakened her love of family and history. She tries to help out little in just about every user project out there, and actively merges and cleans up profiles as much as she has time to. She especially is interested in Norwegian and Scottish ancestry, as so much of her lineage traces back that way. Currently, she is working as a fundraising coordinator for her best friend's toddler's upcoming kidney transplant, so she isn't getting as much time in on wikitree, but should be back to fully active mid-summer, 2013.
