It wasn't long before the praise was flowing for Buzzy Jackson. Buzzy Jackson was a keynote speaker in Wednesday's opening session. It seems many were very impressed.
The tweets proclaimed:
"great humorous speaker"
"funny and entertaining"
"great speaker"
"Great Talk. LOVE IT"
Clearly she caught a few people's attention. One of Jazzy's messages that came through loud and clear on twitter was "be your descendants favourite ancestor, write your story down" Clearly a women after my own heart.
There were plenty of questions about her book? Of course, I quickly googled Buzzy Jackson to see what all the fuss was about, and I was just as impressed as the tweeters this morning.
So if you haven't heard of Buzzy Jackson let me bring you up to speed.
Buzzy is an author, she holds a PhD in History at UC Berkeley. She currently holds a position as a Research Affiliate at the Center of the American West of the University of Colorado Boulder. She is the author of Shaking the Family Tree
and A Bad Woman Feeling Good: Blues and the Women Who Sing Them
.Buzzy is a self-described accidental genealogist. You can find her blog here.
She has assembled a charming two minute video about her book Shaking the Family Tree. I encourage you to take a look at it. You can follow her on Twitter or Facebook as well. I'm sure after yesterday Jazzy has a few more followers and a few more book sales.
