Harold M. Bergsma is a son of medical missionaries who worked in Ethiopia and northern India for many years. His early schooling was in India, at Woodstock International School in Mussoorie, U.P. He speaks Urdu and some Punjabi. His earliest memories are of Taxila in the North West Frontier Province. Later he lived in Sialkot and as a teenager in Ludhiana. Bergsma also lived as a child in California and in Grand Rapids, Michigan. At the age of eighteen Bergsma returned with his parents to India and enrolled as a senior at Woodstock School, in the foothills of the Himalayas. Prior to beginning his senior year of studies he took part in a three month ornithological expedition to Nepal led by the late Dr. Robert L. Fleming, his mentor, under the auspices of the Chicago Field Museum and the National Geographic Society. After completing his high school at Woodstock, he returned to the United States for college. He earned a B.A. in Religious Studies and Elementary Education at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan; his M.A. was in Secondary Educational Administration at Michigan State University and his Ph.D. in International and Comparative Education and African Anthropology and Linguistics at M.S.U. He was a Fellow of the African Studies Institute.

He speaks and reads Tiv as well and has studied the Hausa language. He worked eight years at Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste.
