Hello Nevada researchers!  Over the past several years, I have spent hundreds of hours researching, transcribing and compiling records on early Nevadans.  These records have been put into books that are specifically designed to help you find information on your elusive Nevadans as quickly and easily as possible.  Along with the title and description of each book, I have listed the publisher's price, book item number and, at the bottom of this page, ordering information by phone or online.

Be sure to check the bottom of this page for some FREE research help PLUS a preview (including the FULL index) of my latest book, Storey County Vital Records, Vol. 1, which was due out earlier this year.  It is at the publisher's but due illness, it has not yet been printed in its final format.  In the meantime, the index is available for review and, until the book is available, I would be glad to do singular lookups for you from my draft copy to assist you in your research.

Best of luck with your research and happy hunting!

In Loving Memory of My Son, Daniel

Daniel passed away on July 6, 2002, he was only 26 years old.  He was the sweetest, funniest guy I've ever know.  I miss you terribly, Daniel, I will never be able to look at another "vital record" or search a cemetery without the realization that each name I read was a living, vital person --- not just a name on a stone or a record.  How easy it is for us to forget and what a hard way for me to be reminded.
