Introduction

Welcome to www.pwaldron.info

I set up this domain on December 23, 2010.

I set up my first web server pwaldron.bess.tcd.ie on November 29, 1993 and the Wayback Machine has preserved some early versions of the home page and technical details.

Mathematics, Economics and Finance

I have degrees in mathematics, economics and finance.

You can read about (and purchase) the book I have written with Mike Harrison entitled Mathematics for Economics and Finance at the publisher's website. A Chinese edition is in preparation.

Genealogy

I was elected Chairman of the Council of Irish Genealogical Organisations (CIGO) for 2011 and 2012.

I represent the Clare Roots Society on CIGO.

I have become a regular on the genealogy lecture circuit, giving the following presentations:

From 24 Feb 2008 until 12 Nov 2011, my own family tree was at http://pwaldron.tribalpages.com/ but for a variety of reasons I have had to change the Access Code:

1. As of March 2011, my database has grown too large for version 2.1 of Ancestral Quest, so the macros which I used to create the online version no longer worked.
2. As of November 2011, my database is too large for the reduced free service provided by tribalpages.com
3. Since May 2011, three different people have requested that the information that they gave me on themselves and their immediate families be removed from the database.

I have now found ways around most of the above problems and hope to have the tribalpages website back in action in a way which will keep everyone happy by the end of April 2012.

I have put up some old family photographs on facebook.

I am also one of the genealogists at The Lodge at Doonbeg.
