I have more than 35 years of genealogy research experience with extensive experience in Georgia and the southern United States. My B.A. degree in Spanish is a great asset in researching the records of the Gulf South region, especially records from the Spanish period for Louisiana, Florida and Texas. My professional research service Genea In A Bottle was started in 2010 and client projects have included almost every U.S. State and many International locations including Spain, Mexico, Italy, France, England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Canada and Islands of the Caribbean. I have been a member of ICAPGen since 2014, and a member of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution. Since 2020 I have been a participant at Firebird Forensics Group, Inc. combining my genealogy skills with genetic investigative work with law enforcement to solve cold cases. (www.firebirdforensics.org). I have excellent research and analysis skills and have been able to solve complex genealogy "mysteries". I can also translate documents from Spanish to English. Some of my past volunteer service was with the Susan Woodin Chapter of NSDAR where I assisted prospective members with applications and other lineage research issues. I have also provided service as a Family History Consultant at the LDS Church for many years. I have presented lectures for Genealogy Societies, School programs and Family History Expos on a variety of topics. The lecture titles include: - "Keeping Up With The Jones' - A Real Case Study of Tracing a Common Surname in Georgia" - "U.S. Probate Records and Process" - "The U.S. Naturalization Process" - "Hispanic Genealogy Research" - Janice S.
