Onsite Research
Southern California is rich in records; however, many of these valuable genealogical resources are not digitized. Onsite research, including vital record retrieval, in Western Riverside County, Western San Bernardino County, and Northern San Diego County is available.
Research
For those times when you don’t have time to research your family tree, or just need some assistance with a specific person or family mystery.
I am familiar with the application guidelines for many lineage societies, including, but not limited to, NSDAR, USD1812, and DUVCW. I’m able to assemble your complete application or research part of or the whole lineage.
Coaching & Consultations
If you’re not ready to hand that research problem over to someone else, yet, perhaps a partner will be helpful! We can take a look at the problem, your existing research, and come up with new ideas and a game plan during a brainstorming session. Need a little more support or accountability? I can be your “Girl Friday” with weekly check-ins and time to brainstorm. Not sure what will work best? Book a free 20-minute consult and we’ll figure it out together!

Disclaimer
In all cases, genealogical research and record look-ups can be time-consuming and sometimes end up empty-handed; for instance, not everyone had obituaries, marriages, or births published in newspapers. The larger the city or more modern the time frame, the less likely it is the information was published. In the event that your record is not found, you will receive a letter or email from me outlining exactly what resources were accessed to locate the information requested and stating the information was not found. I am unable to guarantee the record you want exists. For this reason, fees for used time are not refundable.
