A native of the Chicago suburbs & former Board Certified genealogist, I now reside in So. Cal. where I was a college professor for 13 years, teaching Speech Communication, retiring to pursue my passions: family history & folklore (with doctorate in the latter). I am a national speaker, the former Director of the Corona (CA) Family History Center, President & webmaster of the Corona Gen. Soc., & Past-President of the So. Calif. Chapter of APG. I've also been on the boards of the Gen'l Speakers Guild, Internat'l Soc. of Family History Writers & Editors, & APG. I was the Lead researcher for the first season of Genealogy Roadshow. I write the "Aunty Jeff" column for the Informer, the newsletter of the Jefferson County, NY, Gen. Soc. I am part of Genealogy Journeys® producing podcasts on Social History.
