Jeffrey A. Bockman became interested in genealogy as a teenager by reading the information his grandmother (DAR, Magna Charta) had compiled about the Plantagenets and from the junk mail of organizations requiring lineal descent from Charlemagne.

He has been actively involved in genealogy since 1987, ever since 8:30 on a Monday night when one of his 6th grade twins said that he needed four great grandparents by tomorrow. Unfortunately since he "cannot tell a lie" he chopped down several big branches of his grandmother's family tree.
