Fearless Community Media Executive Director by day.
Hopeless genealogy nerd by night.
Hello, I’m Jenny Hawran, the heart behind Like Herding Cats Genealogy. I’m a professional genealogist who, like so many others, was forever changed by an unexpected DNA discovery that revealed I was an NPE (Not Parent Expected). This website is where I share not only the stories I uncover but the lessons I’ve learned about identity, resilience, and family. Whether you’re researching your ancestry or navigating your own DNA surprise, I hope to offer you support, understanding, and a reminder that you’re not alone on this journey.
When I am not doing genealogy, I am the Executive Director of Windsor Community Television in Windsor, Connecticut.
For a fancier sounding bio, please find me on the Connecticut Society of Genealogists’ Board of Governors page HERE.
