  • The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project
    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project AMBASSADOR ROBERT JACKSON Interviewed by: Mark Tauber Initial interview date: February 21, 2019 Copyright 2020 ADST INTERVIEW Q: Today is May 21st and we are concluding our interview with Robert Jackson by reviewing his early life. Robert, where and when were you born? JACKSON: I was born in Paris, Tennessee, one of the 37 Parises in the United States, on October 17, 1956. Q: Was that where you also grew up? JACKSON: Yes and no. I spent the first few years of my life there and then my family moved to Auburn, Maine, where my mother's family was living and where she was born. I attended elementary school, middle school, and my first semester of high school in Auburn; then I transferred to Phillips Exeter Academy, a boarding school in Exeter, New Hampshire. Q: Now before we go further, a number of people these days are tracing their roots. Have you done any ancestry investigation? JACKSON: In fact, I have been very engaged in genealogy since I retired and have had a great time. I've identified all of my great; great, great; and great, great, great grandparents -- some with the help of DNA analyzed by ancestry.com. I knew about most of those ancestors, and the DNA test showed what I had always been told. i.e., that most of the family hailed from the British Isles. In fact, five of my ancestors arrived on the Mayflower. However, there are branches of my father's family who emigrated from northern France and northern Germany to the United States in the early 1700s.
