User:Tuckerresearch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TuckerResearch is from the e-mail address I chose to receive all my genealogy related material back in high school, and it sort of evolved into my screen name of choice for all scholarly topics.

I am originally from Killeen, Texas and earned a Bachelor's degree and Master's degree in History from Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. In the fall ("autumn" for all you Commonwealth English speakers) of 2006, I started work on my Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Arlington in the novel and exciting field of Transatlantic History.

I am interested in all aspects of history, but my favorite subjects are the Bible, chronology, and ancient history because I grew up in a Southern Baptist milieu. I also enjoy American politics and have an odd fascination with British politics, probably because of its historical interest and my admiration for the British Empire. I also have odd and paradoxical interests in Christian theology and hermetica (i.e. the "occult"). I also enjoy listening to varied types of music (especially those with roots in the American South and Texas), writing songs on my guitar, and poetry. I am also an incurable bibliophile, and, because I am conceited and cocky, I consider myself a polyhistor. But then again, I am arrogant.
