I am a professional genealogist and historical researcher located in Rio Vista, California.  Locally, I have immediate access to records in all local repositories in my area and very familiar with the records and documents available in Northern California.

In addition to Northern California research, I also specialize in lineage society applications.  With over 300 completed and verified applications for several different lineage societies DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution), SAR (Sons of the American Revolution), Mayflower Society, Colonial Dames, etc., I have a great deal of experience in not only proving names, dates and places (with documentation) but also linking child to parent throughout several generations of family lines.
