About the Project

The Jobe Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Jobe name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Jobe name.

As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Jobe's), by time period (18th Century Jobe's), or by topic (Jobe DNA, Jobe Occupations, Jobe Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

Also see the related surnames and surname variants.

Let's use this sticker on our earliest profiles; for example the ones who were born before 1800 or an immigrant. We do want others, who are researching our surname, to be able to discover the project and have the oppotunity to join us in our research.

Jobe Legacy - My Own Personal Journey

JOBE and its Variants: JOB, JOAB, JOBS, JOBES

The surname Jobe, my maiden name has always fascinated me. Other than an immediate relative, even while growing up in the Dallas-Fort Wroth metropolis during the 1950's and 1960's, I seldom met anyone who shared my name other than an immediate relative. Compared to most surnames, it is not that common. Most who use the Jobe spelling today, trace their name back to the Job of Jobs spelling. Due to education, pronunciation, lack of education, and more written forms of communication, during the time 1800-1850, most added the 'e' for various reason. Others just thought the name didn't look complete without the 'e'.

At the age of 16, I started my journey that would last a lifetime. My grandmother who was in her 90's would tell me stories and tales. I said to myself, I want to know these people not just by names, but their lives, the times they lived, their struggles. We had a camper and we set out on the road - visiting old cemeteries, It took me over a year to enter all the information, stories, dates that I had on family group sheets to the computer. When I first started this project, everything was handwritten, and snail-mailed. One of my very earliest Jobe contacts was Miss Katherine Reynolds and before long she became my mentor. At this time very few records had been filmed or digitzed. There were no indexes on census records and wouldn't be for years.

It was a blessing when I got my first typewriter and two decades later my first computer. By then, my research had broaden to include all my progenitors for both my father and mother. However, JOBE would always be my 'go to' and the one where I got the most pleasure.

By mid 1990's I had built the huge Job(e) website that I now have. My files had been put on World Connect with JOBE LEGACY being my star. In a few years I took an autosomal test and was asked to help with the Jobe surname DNA Project at FTDNA. By this time, rootsweb had been bought by Ancestry. It even went offline for 2-3 years --along with all my research. It eventually came back, but became very difficult to navigate for the average person. It didn't take me long to decide that I needed something much better. My children were not interested in my lifetime work. My husband had gotton sick and I was now home full time.

I eventually came across wikipage. It took me about 2 years before I became comfortable enough to venture out and try a connect-a-thon and now a project. I knew eventually, as I'm getting older, most important, there needed to be a way to keep it updated and I would not always be around to do this; plus the project had grown so huge that it was much more than one person could even handle. Since I had started so young age; I was watching the ones that I researched with in the 60's, 70' and 80's pass away. Then I started watching the ones , who had now become dear friends, in the 90's and beginning of the 21st century 'suddently disappear' for various reasons. Reality was setting in.

By now my interest in DNA had grown and I had learned the true value of it and what it could tell us especially about some of the unconnected lines. Wikitree was my answer. Feeling more confident, I'm venturing out and seeing all that it has to offer and there is more to it than what you see at first glance. People here are very helpful and quick to answer questions. Most of all, it is FREE and OPEN TO EVERYONE. It incorporates DNA tests (Ydna, mtdna and autosomal). It protects privacy of the living. Most of all it is the TEAMWORK and how others can add and how files can be merged when they are duplicates. Plus I know when I'm gone, my research (actually the research of many over 5 decades) is being preserved.

Our Goals and Aims

Working together as a team, we can share information or perhaps make recommendations to help you with your particular family interest. You may have personal family records, deeds, Bibles, or other records to help us in our research.

The Jobe One-Name Study is a volunteer network sharing family stories, pictures and information concerning the Jobe surname. We share information to promote further genealogical and genetic research for our members.

I am project administrator of the Jobe surname DNA project at FTDNA. If you've done a ydna test (direct male descendants) or an autosomal test, would love to have you join the DNA project.

Our project goals include

  • STOP the proliferation of genealogies that are not proven with documentation and based on sound research principles.
  • Supplement, prove or correct earlier Jobe genealogies and family histories based on the project research and genetic findings
  • Locate the origins of the Job and/or Jobe patriarchs or immigrants.

Please consider helping us with our Jobe one name study and research. Feel free to send me a private message at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Jobe-211 or post on the G2G@ at https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/ using the project tag. Thanks!
