Gideon Whitney

My name is M. Gideon Whitney. I live in New Jersey. I have been casually researching my family history since about 1990 and more seriously since about 2006.

I have a degree in history and have spent my career as a teacher. Those interests carry over into my genealogical work, where I try to pay close attention to evidence, historical context, and clear documentation.

My Whitney ancestry traces back to John¹ Whitney of Watertown, Massachusetts. I am a newer contributor to the Whitney Research Group, and my goal is to help document and improve the pages connected to my branch of the Whitney family while learning from the work already done by other WRG researchers.

Much of my recent work combines traditional genealogical records with autosomal DNA evidence to verify and support family relationships, especially where the paper trail is incomplete or ambiguous.
