About
My name is Sheila Benedict
I have been a professional genealogist for almost thirty years. I can be of assistance with my expertise in historical, genealogical, and legal research. Historical and family history research usually goes back many generations, dependent upon what the client asks be done. Legal/forensic research is contemporary and forensic genealogists assist attorneys and others that need assistance with probate and other types of cases where genealogical research can assist them. I do not take legal cases on contingency, only hourly plus expenses. Personally, I have a degree in Political Science from California State University, San Bernardino. I studied at the University of California, Riverside and took a variety of master’s classes and paralegal studies at both campuses. I am a member of the national scholastic society Phi Kappa Phi.
