Another sister is deceased, and an older brother (also a retired Navy CPO) lives in another state.

We have been heavily involved since 1991 in genealogical research on our BRITNELL and STRINGER family lines, and since 2003 in cemetery research in San Augustine County, locating our ancestors' burials.

We thank you very much for visiting this website. We provide some research assistance for individuals searching for the burial location of family or friends, and will do some genealogy research. We will never request payment for any service we provide and will not accept payment if offered.
