| Introduction | Jirene is a nickname. I'm a Yuman being, a "Yuma Criminal," and a graduate of Northern Arizona University. I am a "tride and true" Arizonan. I am a Trial Consultant and Paralegal Supervisor by day, and a genealogist by night. The "genealogy bug" alighted me in 1988 while digitizing my Mom’s genealogy research using my DOS computer (I’m a techno geek as well). I took genealogy classes and began conducting my own research, but mostly documenting what my Mom had found. Then I married an Englishman, and started from scratch researching his ancestry. Some 800+ ancestors later, my husband has to sometimes remind me to join the living every now and then. I am a Family History Consultant since 2005 with the Phoenix Family History Library (formerly Ashland Branch Library), and since July 2010 the Newsletter Editor of its publication “The News Leaf.” I also train on various software programs in my "real" job, and enjoy teaching on Advance Google Research for genealogy. I have two blogs: Jirene's Genealogy Tips (where I share genealogy research tid bits) and Jirene’s Genealogy Treasures (my family histories and genealogies). All I need is more hours in the day! |
