My name is Jacob Lake and I live near Rockford, Illinois. I have been a genealogist for about 16 years. I'm also a member of a few descendent and genealogical organizations which are devoted to the study and preservation of our nation's history. I love getting outside to walk and transcribe cemeteries, so if you have any photo requests please feel free to ask me. Usually I can make it out to a cemetery within a couple days of claiming a request. I also enjoy doing lookups for anyone who needs a volunteer researcher. I specialize in American genealogy from 1850-1950 and also in Serbian-American genealogy and the genealogies of those of us with Balkan and Eastern European heritage. I can especially help with lookup and research requests within the N. Illinois area.
