I am an attorney living and working in Calabasas, California. My wife and I were married in 1970 and we have one son, James Kensuke Gotcher. Jim and his wife Danielle, have one daughter, Kaya Rae Gotcher.
My undergraduate and graduate studies were in history. I attended Loyola Law School (Los Angeles) and was admitted to the California bar in 1976.

You do not need to upload your gedcom file again. It is currently being processed and matched against profiles already existing on WikiTree. You will receive an email when the comparison is finished and you can then go to your Gedcompare Report. You will need to review any matches found by the software and either reject or accept them. Then you will be able to add your family lines to our shared tree on WikiTree.
If you have any questions, let me know.
