“Introduction to LucidChart”

Meet Jamie Lee McManus Mayhew, the heart and soul behind California Cousins, where genealogical puzzles meet their match. Jamie’s adventure into the annals of history began as a teenager, not in dusty old archives, but in the cozy corners of her living room, with her mother as her first mentor. Together, they navigated the labyrinth of census records and pored over ancient tomes, their pages whispering secrets from the past.

Fast forward five decades, and Jamie’s childhood curiosity has blossomed into a lifelong quest. In 2010, she channeled this fervor into founding California Cousins. In her role at California Cousins, Jamie applies her extensive expertise to uncover family histories and piece together narratives once lost in the shadows of time. Her work transcends the traditional scope of genealogy; it’s about connecting the dots of the past, bringing to light the stories and legacies that shape families, one discovery at a time.

Whether you’re a history buff, a mystery lover, or someone yearning to connect with your roots, Jamie Lee McManus Mayhew is your go-to guide in the enchanting world of genealogy.
