Geographic Specialities

I have extensive experience with genealogical research across the southern and south-central United States, including Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Oklahoma, as well as the Gulf Coast and Appalachian regions. My expertise spans from the colonial and republic eras to the present day.

Additionally, I have worked on cases involving endogamous populations, including Mexican American, Ashkenazi Jewish, Acadian, African American, and Colonial American communities.

My experience also includes research in military records, particularly those related to the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Indian Wars, Civil War, and Republic of Texas conflicts.

Repositories

I conduct research at multiple repositories, including the Regional Historical Resource Depository System (RHRD), which is part of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC). The RHRD program preserves historical county records that have been transferred from local governments for long-term access. Each depository houses records for specific counties:

• George Memorial Library (Richmond) – Austin, Brazoria, Fort Bend, Matagorda, Waller, Wharton.
• Sam Houston State University (Huntsville) – Anderson, Freestone, Grimes, Houston, Leon, Madison, Montgomery, Trinity, Walker.

• University of Texas at Arlington (Arlington) – Collin, Ellis, Henderson, Hood, Johnson, Kaufman, Navarro, Parker, Rockwall, Somervell, Tarrant.

In addition to RHRD depositories, I also conduct research at the Clayton Library Center for Genealogical Research, Houston Public Library, which is a premier genealogical research facility with extensive collections covering Texas, the Southern U.S., and international records.

Additionally, I am located in Montgomery County, Texas (near Houston) and am available for travel to local courthouses and libraries.
