Jeff has stated:

I am planning a trip to my homeland-Sweden! My mother [was] 100% Swedish. She died in 2016, and was unable to travel to the country that her grandparents immigrated from. I am planning on visiting Stockholm, Faro Island (where Ingmar Bergman often worked), and Skane County in the south where my mother’s family comes from.

Jeff’s maternal grandfather was named Robert George Shoquist. Robert was born in Michigan.

Jeff’s maternal grandmother was Marion Adele Lundgren (the daughter of Carl Alfred Lundgren and Agnes Esther Martin). Marion was born in Texas. Carl was Swedish, and was the son of Nils Peter Lundgren and Annette/Anette Seaholm. Agnes was herself born in Texas, to Swedish parents, Swan Martin and Sophia Seaholm.
