Past President AzCPG, APG Board Member 2016-2018
Member of: APG, NAGS, NEHGS, and others
Specializing in US genealogy
As a writer and an avid genealogist, I understand there can be no greater mystery story than
that of our own families. Who are our ancestors? What did they do with their lives?
And, because I believe in preserving history, as well as the power of the written word, I
specialize in ancestral genealogical research to tell the stories of a person, or family's personal
connections to history.
I have the privilege of using words to help bring into focus important stories about people, their families and their history.

Member of APG, NGS
After 50 years in accounting and software, I retired in October of 2018 and am now using the expertise I have developed over the last 22 years as an amateur genealogist (working on my own family trees) to become a professional genealogist. I am enrolled in the Genealogical Certification Program at Boston University, and should become certified some time in 2020. I have also established Montgomery Genealogical Services, currently serving clients in the East Valley.
