Recently, David Goerss submitted two excellent articles to the California Nugget, the twice-a-year journal of the California Genealogical Society.  His submissions, on military topics, were informative, historical, and extraordinary in their scope, containing abundant and relevant sources.

His in-depth research produced lively and compelling narratives of great interest to a wide variety of readers.

David’s natural writing style is organized, engaging and lively. That, combined with his professional-level knowledge of grammar and syntax, makes him a writer whose work will always be welcomed. He has a gift for making complex topics easy to understand, and the addition of carefully selected photos and images, with detailed captions, enhances both the narrative and his research.

Working with David is a real pleasure. He is reliable, easy to communicate with and prompt in his replies to inquiries or questions. He meets deadlines and listens to feedback.  Additionally, he was unfailingly patient with the necessarily tedious aspects of editing as we approached publication.

David always cheerfully supplies any last-minute needed material.

I’m already looking forward to his next article and hope that he will continue to offer the California Genealogical Society the opportunity to publish his fine research.

Dear Dave,

I can’t thank you enough for your help with my genealogy research. When I first contacted you, I was worried about finalizing my presentation at an upcoming family reunion. I had hit so many genealogical road blocks that my story was incomplete. But your guidance and amazing research techniques truly put my mind at ease!

You were able to uncover things I had been searching for (e.g., Alfred’s naturalization, proofs of military service, military unit history; Dolores’ date of death, etc.) that helped round out the entire story on my family.

I also appreciated your professionalism and organization. It was reassuring for me to know exactly which areas you would work on, and to get your updates on progress, as well as on dead ends.

As you well know, genealogy research can easily become a black hole of time! But your thorough reports and feedback helped me accomplish my goals and stay on budget.

Thanks to you, the presentation was a great success.  I enjoyed working together on the search and hope we can work together again on the other side of my family’s history.

Best regards,
