The biography for Georgiene Parker is empty. What can you add?
I was born in Bellaire, TX - a suburb of Houston, TX, but moved to San Antonio, TX when I was two years old and spent the rest of my growing up years there. I went to St. Luke's Catholic School, then Incarnate Word High School and graduated from there in 1983.
My given name is Georgiene' Marie Parker. The day of my birth, I was also given the nickname "Gigi", as I had three older brothers and my mother wanted to think of a nickname before they came up with one. It was also the first initials of my parents' names - G and G (Guy Allen Parker, Jr. and Georgiene Mary Ayres), - and they said they liked the musical, "Gigi".
My mother named me after herself and I am the third in line with this name. Her name is also Georgiene, but she goes by the nickname "Genie", and my grandmother was named Georgiene Magdalaine Messersmith, and she went by the nickname "Georgie".
I was told that my Great-Grandmother created the name. She supposedly had a good friend named George and another named Jeanne and being from France, she put them together as Georgiene'. Her maiden name was Magdalaine (or Madalaine) Pujo (or Pujol) and she was from France. She came to this country when she was very small (somewhere between "she was born on the boat on the way over" and "she was about 3"). We know she came with an Aunt, but not sure of the name. It has been said that perhaps her parents died on the voyage, but again, just stories. This is one area that I am researching. I would really like to find some relations and the mystery that is my Great Grandmother.
In 1996 I married David William Hudnall and we have two children - Kyle David Hudnall, born January 6, 2000, and Kenneth William Hudnall, born August 11, 2003.
David and I met while working at the Laguna Playhouse in Laguna Beach, California. I had followed another boy out to California after receiving my Master of Fine Arts in Theatre for Youth from Arizona State University (I had followed him out there too). My Bachelor of Fine Arts was from the school formerly known as Southwest Texas State University (now Texas State).
David is from New Jersey and went to California to find "Palm trees and sunshine"! We loved California and had all our family from Texas and New Jersey come to Costa Mesa, CA for our wedding. Then we had Kyle and I decided I needed my Mommy and Daddy and we moved to San Antonio to be near them. That was in 2000, and at the time of this writing it is 2016 and we are still in San Antonio.

Just checking in with a few quick tips:
Free Space pages are wiki pages for supplementing your family history. They can be used to profile anything of significance such as a special pet, a meaningful event, a school you attended, a family heirloom .... They're "anything pages".
Not sure what to include in a profile? Check out our Biography Ideas and Styles and Standards help pages.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, please ask!
