Hank Jones has been actively climbing family trees since the age of eight and, following his graduation from Stanford, has specialized in tracing 18th century German emigrants. His books on the subject include The Palatine Families of Ireland, The Palatine Families of New York - 1710 (two volumes, winner of the Donald Lines Jacobus Award as "Best Genealogical Work of the Year"), More Palatine Families, Westerwald to America, and his new 3-volume set, Even More Palatine Families.
In his "other life," Hank was a film actor for twenty-five years, appearing in eight Walt Disney films and over 300 appearances in TV shows including My Three Sons, Love Boat, Mork & Mindy, The Jeffersons and many more.
Hank's besteller, Psychic Roots: Serendipity & Intuition in Genealogy, a study of how intuitive nudges and serendipitious events sometimes influence our genealogical searches, is now in its 9th printing. It was dramatized on NBC's "Unsolved Mysteries" program. Its sequel, More Psychic Roots: Further Adventures in Serendipity & Intuition in Genealogy" is drawn from his own experiences and those of over 200 other family historians from around the world.
He received the NGS Award of Merit for "Distinguished Work in Genealogy" and has been elected a Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists, of whom there are only fifty in the world. Hank has served on the national board of the Genealogical Speaker's Guild and as a Trustee of the Association of Professional Genealogists.
