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.

Countdown to Jamboree, Burbank, CA, 14 May 2010


Only 4 weeks to go and I will be at Jamboree . . . will you be there too?

This will be the second year that we will be doing the Kids Camp and I am excited about that, but there are a lot of other things happening as well. The exhibit hall will be filled with some exhibitors that one usually sees only at the largest genealogy conferences. Click on the icon above to see everything that will be available for perusal in the exhibit hall. Here are a few examples:

Genealogy products, e.g., software, books, other supplies

Genealogy societies, lineage societies, family history organizations

Magazines & other publications (online and hard copy) in the field

Help and consultation services

Book publishing options

Various organizations that further the field

Exhibitors with ideas of how to preserve and share your family history

Promotion of genealogy and history events

It's hard to summarize all that is available, so click on the logo above and read about them all for yourself . . . then try to schedule your exhibit hall visits among all the other things happening at the event.
