(Johannes) Froebel-Parker graduated from a small town Central School in Marathon, New York. He taught English as a New Language for almost three decades in an upstate New York Central School District, having previously taught English as a Foreign Language for one year at the Marie Curie Oberschule in the former West Berlin, in an academic exchange program sponsored by Akademischer Austauschdienst. He completed his undergraduate B.A, M.A. (German Language and Literature) and M.S. (Education) at the University at Albany in Albany, New York-USA.
From the earliest age, he was captivated by the stories of his maternal and paternal grandparents who shared with him their oral histories from both sides of the Atlantic. Via his maternal grandmother there are a number of ancient genealogical connections to Queen Victoria via the family “von Juelich-Kleve-Berg” hence to Tsar Nicholas II, Taritsa Alexandra and their children. He is fascinated by the interconnected nature of genetics and family lore leading to the very Froebelian concept of “Einheit” (unity). Indeed, the Kindergarten founder is quoted as insisting “Jedes Dinges Wesen ist Einheit” (Unity is the Essence of All Things).
With his research about Anastasia Romanov and the woman aka “Evgenia Smetisko” he hopes to contribute to such a notion. He is the author of various other books based on characters from his “Ahnentafel” (family tree), many with Authorhouse.
