My name is Jennifer Valladares. I currently reside in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I was born Bettye Leanne Shepard and my mother changed my name shortly after she remarried. I was named Bettye after my grandmother, Bettye Jean, who died when my father was 17 years old. He died in a car accident when I was 5 years old. I began my family search in the summer of 2011 and have focused mainly on my fathers side since I'm only one of two known survivors.
