Jamboree 2016 Speaker Spotlight: Janine Cloud

Janine Cloud started on the phones at Family Tree DNA in 2011 and moved up to Customer Support Manager, then Group Projects Manager. A grade-school assignment to fill out a pedigree chart ignited her passion for family history and genealogy. That passion, combined with 30+ years of customer service experience got her in the door at FTDNA with a degree in theatre where she quickly grasped the principles of genetic genealogy. In fact, her Allison cousins were among the earliest group projects. Janine is a fifth-generation Texan and a registered member of the Cherokee Nation.
