Biography
Certified by the Board for Certification of Genealogists since September 1980. I have over forty years of professional research experience. Most of this experience has been in the preparation of lineage society applications and in research in California records; however, I also have undertaken research commissions in the records of other states and countries. I have extensive experience in original German and Swedish church records.
Published works include �The Foreign-Born Voters of California in 1872� including names, ages, national origin, and naturalization data on over 61,000 voters on the voter rolls in 1872 (self published on microfiche in 1994), and the California chapter in Ann S. Lainhart�s �State Census Records� (Genealogical Pub. Co., 1992).Degrees and Certificates
