Stephen Morse is an amateur genealogist who has been researching his
Russian-Jewish origins for the past few years. Several years ago he
developed some web-based searching aids which, much to his surprise, have
attracted attention worldwide.
He has received both the Outstanding Contribution Award and the Lifetime
Achievement Award from the International Association of Jewish Genealogical
Societies.
In his other life Morse is a computer professional with a doctorate degree
in electrical engineering from New York University. He has held research
positions at Bell Labs, IBM Watson Research, GE Corporate R&D, and
Compagnie Internationale pour l'Informatique in France. He has been
involved in development at Intel Corp, Alsys, Inc, and Netscape. He has
taught at CCNY, Pratt Institute, UC Berkeley, SUNY Albany, Stanford
University, and San Francisco State. He has authored numerous technical
papers, written four textbooks, and holds four patents. He is best known as
the architect of the Intel 8086 (the granddaddy of today's Pentium
processor), which sparked the PC revolution 25 years ago.
Ann Kerr received her B.A. in English and Journalism from Brigham Young
University, after which she taught high school for five years and worked
in two California advertising agencies. After finishing a year of graduate
work, she was hired by BYU as a writer, and while in this capacity spent a
month in the Inside Passage of Alaska as an assistant instructor teaching
students photography and magazine article writing.
After moving to Lodi 30 years ago when her husband setup a dental practice
here, Ann stayed home to raise four children, but continued writing and
photography on a freelance basis. She has been involved five years with the
Lodi Family History Center as its photo consultant. She writes a monthly
family history column for the Lodi News-Sentinel.
An interest in photography since high school days led Ann into
multi-projector slide shows, which in turn led to video. Now she combines
her photography and video experience to specialize in family history DVDs.

There once was a researcher named Vern
He found many ancestors, but learned
For every one you find
It's really unkind
There's still two more to discern
