Family history research

Ruth came to California from Arkansas. The records can show the road.

This entry is the end of the story. The older records hold the rest: the census pages Ruth grew up on in Arkansas, a marriage record, the family’s move to California. With both parents' surnames here (Smallwood and Biley), we can usually reach the generation before too. We search them one name at a time and send you what we find, read in plain English, with every fact cited to its record and where to look next.

On FamilyHistoryResearch.org, a service we also run. By email within 7 days; a full refund if we can't find them in the records.
