AuthorHi, I Am Diane Henriks, A Professional Genealogist And Investigator Who Uses Advanced Deductive Reasoning And Logical Constructs To Thoroughly Investigate A Case, With A Specialty In Finding Living Descendants In Family Trees, And Have Worked Closely With Private Investigators To Find Living People, While Also Sub Contracting As A Private Investigator On The Side For Heir Search, With A Few Criminal Investigations Thrown In. Although, My Day Job Is The One With The Steady Paycheck And Insurance! ;) I Have Been Researching Family History And Genealogy For The Past 11 Years. I Have Researched Many Of My Own Family Lines, As Well As That Of My Clients, And Am A Member Of APG And SCGS. Besides My Family of Course, My Absolute Favorite Things In the Whole World, And That Bring Excitement To Me, Are: Tea, Fog, Bridges, And Genealogy! I Was Asked By Genealogists At The Southern California Genealogical Society Years Ago To Publish My Works. What Started Out As A Small Hobby, When A Hand Drawn Family Tree Was Given To Me By My Father, Has Since Become A Great Obsession! Archives
