--Jillette Leon-Guerrero has a BA in Anthropology from the University of Guam and an MA in Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma. She currently is the President of Guamology, Inc., a Guam-based publishing company. She also provides consulting services for Guampedia.com, the War in the Pacific National Historical Park and various other Guam organizations. Leon-Guerrero began researching her family tree for her mother over twenty years ago to verify family stories that she was related to Richard Wagner, the German composer. Her interest in genealogy has expanded to her paternal line and DNA research. She is especially interested in trying to find a link between families of the early Spanish colonial period and possible descendants in modern day Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. She is currently working on a television special documenting the search for “John” Perez, a resident of Guam who left the island in the late 1800s and settled in Kaui, Hawai’i. Leon-Guerrero is a resident of Agana Heights and is married to Jean Lescure. She is the proud mother of two sons, Christopher and Island, and two grandsons, Christian and Chauncy.
