I am a wife, mom, and grandma living in sunny California. My husband and I have five wonderful children, an awesome son-in-law, an amazing daughter-in-law, and an adorable grandson.

I love genealogy and family history. I started my family history research following the death of my Grandfather, Debs Warren Webster, who passed away in 1994. He didn't really talk much about his family history (if at all). Debs was born in Brazil and my dad's family was from Norway and Sweden. I just assumed I didn't have any kind of family history tied to the early history of the United States. But, after looking through family photos and documents belonging to my Grandfather, Debs Webster, and through further research of my own, I discovered I was very wrong! Needless to say, my family history research has been a very interesting, enlightening, and fun (yes, I said fun) journey of discovery.

I currently serve as a Family History Consultant and taught a family history class for six years at church. I have also previously served as a volunteer librarian at our local FamilySearch Center.

I am the author of three blogs:

 * Jana's Place - my personal blog at janalastblog.blogspot.com/
 * Grandpa's Postcards - a vintage postcard blog in which I share my maternal grandparents' vintage postcard collection at grandpaspostcards.blogspot.com/

I also have a website:

My ancestors are mainly from Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Brazil, England, Mexico, and the United States.
