Richwales (talk • contribs • count)

I am Rich Wales, a computer systems analyst living in California, USA.

I have received university degrees from Stanford and UCLA.

I grew up in California, but lived in Ontario, Canada from 1993 until mid-1997. I am a dual citizen of the USA (by birth) and Canada (by naturalization). I maintain a web site on dual US/other citizenship in an effort to dispel the widely held misconception that US law supposedly doesn't permit dual/multiple citizenship.

To the best of my knowledge, I am not related to Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales. My "Wales" ancestors lived in Redruth, Cornwall, England, and emigrated to California in the 19th century. Other ancestors of mine came from France (via Quebec), Norway, and the Ashkenazi Jewish population of Germany and Poland.
