About California Cousins
Jamie Lee McManus Mayhew is the principal researcher for California Cousins. Her first experience with genealogy was as a teenager researching with her mother, cranking through census records and old books that had that peculiar odor that old books have. She has been researching now for almost twenty-five years and in 2010 started the research service California Cousins: Family History Research Services. Recently, she was a researcher for season one (2013) of the PBS television show Genealogy Roadshow.
