About Me

My photo
Lake Mathews (Perris), CA, United States
Born in Illinois, I grew up in Wilmette, a northern suburb of Chicago. I have one sibling, an older brother. I am married, for the 2nd time now, to Butch & got 4 children in the deal. They have gone on to make me grandmother 25 times over & great-grandmother to over 20!. After many years working in industry, I got my bachelors and masters degrees in speech communication, & was a professor in that field for 13 years. I retired in 2001 & returned to school & got my doctorate in folklore. Now I meld my two interests - folklore & genealogy - & add my teaching background, resulting in my current profession: speaker/author/entertainer of genealogically-related topics. I play many folk instruments, but my preference is guitar, which I have been playing since 1963. I write the "Aunty Jeff" column for the Informer, newsletter of the Jefferson County NY Gen. Soc. I work in partnership with Gena Philibert-Ortega & Sara Cochran as Genealogy Journeys® where we focus on educating folks about Social History. More about that: genaandjean.blogspot.com.

The 2 Wilcox homes, Dallas, Dallas, Texas. Above: the Peabody house with Edward Everett Wilcox's first & second wives - Amanda WILLIFORD (on the right) and her nurse, Leonora Adelia STICKLE CASKEY WELCH (on the left); probably Nellie Elbert WILCOX in the front. About 1891.

Below, the Parkview house (still standing), about 1910:

    That house was designed by Edward E. Wilcox, son of architect Nathan W. Wilcox, who, I believe, used that same basic design for other buildings. I'll post more on that at a later date.
