Regina H. Blackstock, professional genealogist


I am a professional genealogist and have been actively researching my family and others for more than 20 years. I started like most, researching my own family roots in the late 1990s. After I retired in 2010, however, I began to spend more time helping others with their family research. I will be posting a few of my works here, with permission of the respective families.


  1. New Evidence - James B. (Bear) Ward (1796-1861)
    Between 1998 and 2006 there was an ongoing effort to find the parents of James B. Ward. Jerry Merritt published a detailed research paper online showing Nathan Ward of SC had to be James B. Ward's parenets. However, new evidence has emerged which may change this conclusion.
