Background

As stated in his ASG biography, Zubrinsky is a former high jumper,[1][2][3] community college sociology instructor, and jazz musician.[4] He won a silver medal in high jump at the 1961 Maccabiah Games in Israel.[5]

Zubrinsky played the trumpet professionally most of his life. In 1978, when the CSUN "A" Big-Band Jazz Ensemble recorded their album Let's Eat Cactus, he played the flugelhorn solo on "Crimp Cut".[6]

Genealogy career

After retiring from teaching in 1987, he gradually developed an interest in genealogy, publishing his first journal article in 1992.[4]

In 2008, he authored a series of twelve online sketches on the two primary colonial Carpenter families, of Rehoboth, Mass., and Providence, R.I., which form the definitive source of accurate information about the early American generations and English origins of those families.[7][8] In 2014, he published a highly detailed volume pertaining to his Russian-Jewish paternal ancestry,[4] and in 2016, an extensive genealogy of the Redways, one of his mother's ancestral families.

Zubrinsky was elected a Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists in 2010, an honor limited to 50 living persons.[4]

He has published over 30 scholarly articles in premier journals such as the New England Historic Genealogical Society's flagship quarterly publication The New England Historical and Genealogical Register and the American Genealogist, founded by Donald Lines Jacobus.[4]
