About your Web Host - David Gevaux was born in Paddington, West London in 1949.   Until retiring in 1999, he was the senior reporting analyst for a City investment bank.  Since leaving full-time employment he has devoted himself to academic research, gaining a 1st class honours Degree in History in 2002 and in 2005 a Masters Degree in 20th Century Cultural History from Queen Mary College, University of London.  When not engaged in genealogical research he is a trustee and child sponsorship coordinator for the Assin Endwa Trust, an educational charity based in Ghana, and has recently been elected to the Genealogy Committee of The Huguenot Society.

David has been investigating the family's history and roots for more than twenty-five years and has traced a line of descent back to mid seventeenth-century France.
