SilkTork is a name I have used for my internet activity since the 1990s. My real name is Steve Pereira. I was born and I live in the UK, from mixed ancestry - Welsh, Irish, and Portuguese. I have a French wife, Christelle, and we have daughter, Phocea, who was born in March 2009. We lived in [[Rochester, Kent]], when I started on Wikipedia, we now live in [[Southampton]]. I have five children from three marriages and I have seven grandchildren.
