I am Steven Patterson. I have my birth certificate. I currently live in the San Francisco Bay area. I was raised in Tucson, AZ. I have lived in Southern California, Salt lake City, Utah (I'm not LDS), and now here in Northern California. My primary occupation was as a computer systems administrator.
My father served in the US Navy (1930s), the US Army (1940s), the US Army Air Corps (1940s) and the US Air Force (1940s,1950s,1960s).
My mother worked as a waitress for many years, but in the late 1950s studied cosmetology and received her license to practice. In the 1960s, she partnered with another hair dresser and opened her own business which ran successfully for several years. She sold her share to her partner after marrying my step-father, but the shop itself remained a viable business for many years after.
My grandfather Barnett was involved in real estate in Southern California and mined gold in the Mojave desert during the Depression.
My grandfather Patterson owned an ice business and livery in Bloomfield, MO, in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. Horseless carriages and refrigeration eventually drove him out of businrss. I've heard many stories about him and how tough and strong he was. He passed away 10 years before I was born so I never had the pleasure if knowing him.
I'm very interested in my family's background. My brother and his family have done a lot of work on our family. I really want to take DNA tests to help determine where my family is from. Here on WikiTree I have discovered that I have German, French, English, Welsh, Italian, and Swiss ancestors. Most of my ancestors have been in this country as far back as 1640. I recently discovered that on my father's side, a blood relative named Martha Dandridge married a surveyor and military man named George Washington. Yeah, that George Washington. One always hopes to be related to someone famous, but I never had a clue I was related to anyone famous let alone the first president of the United States.
I look forward to discovering more about my family, and helping to build WikiTree as a volunteer.
As I gain more experience on WikiTree, I'm sure I will have more to add here.

Just checking in with a few quick tips:
Free Space pages are wiki pages for supplementing your family history. They can be used to profile anything of significance such as a special pet, a meaningful event, a school you attended, a family heirloom .... They're "anything pages".
Not sure what to include in a profile? Check out our Biography Ideas and Styles and Standards help pages.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, please ask!
