About California Cousins

Jamie Lee McManus Mayhew

Picture
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 over thirty-five years and in 2010 started the research service California Cousins: Family History Research and Education.
