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.

I employed Mr. Goerss in relation to a non-fiction book that I was writing, to carry out some complex research into the Forces background of a flyer in the US Naval Air Reserve in the late 1940s/50s. I had already trawled through the obviously available records – Ancestry, military rolls, etc.
I was astonished and delighted when he produced a veritable mine of information, culled from the most obscure and hard-to-find records.
He completely found the answers to my questions, in a very prompt and efficient manner, and at a very reasonable cost.
Not only this, but he is swift to reply and always courteous.
I cannot recommend Mr. Goerss highly enough, and would not hesitate to seek his assistance on other research projects.
