Love of family, history, and mystery all merged in 1980 when I decided to start climbing my family tree. Little did I realize how deep those roots would lead or how addictive the search would be. Now known throughout my family as “The Family Historian”, I leave no branch unexplored—no matter how obscure the relationship. This love of genealogy has now led me to want to use that knowledge as a professional genealogist.

My goal is not necessarily to do all of your research for you, but rather to assist you by providing you with research by one who has spent many days searching and interpreting the treasure trove of records found in courthouses, libraries, archives, cemeteries and numerous other locations.

My areas of primary interest and expertise are derived from my years of researching my own family and its related branches.

Primary Areas of Focus

• San Bernardino County, California
• Nebraska
• Northwest Missouri
• On-line Census Research

Costs

• I will be happy to provide a Free Initial Consultation. The purpose of this consultation is to discuss your research goals and the information that you have gathered to date. Based on this consultation I will prepare and provide you with a proposal describing the records that I believe will be most pertinent in achieving your research goals. This proposal will also provide an estimate of the costs and time that I anticipate will be required to gather those records for you.
  
  
• Should you decide to utilize my services my fee is $25.00 per hour plus travel (in excess of 25 miles) and the costs of the records themselves.
