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.

"Genealogy Gems" Highlights My Music!


My podcast with Lisa Louise Cooke - Genealogy Gems - has been uploaded to her website, in the Premium subscription format. She incorporates it with some of her amazing gems that help people research their ancestors; "my" part begins at about 13 minutes into the broadcast. She has done a unique incorporation of some of my songs with the discussions about them. I really appreciate the amount of work that had to have gone into that editing project! Little snippets of "Streets of Laredo," "Barbara Allen," "Red is the Rose," "Careless Love," "Tom Dula," and "Little Old Sod Shanty" are included. To listen to this, and the many, many wonderful podcasts that Lisa presents on her websites, check it out at Genealogy Gems.
