I have just published my first book, a memoir, titled “Got Proof! My Genealogical Journey Through the Use of Documentation.”
As a family history researcher, I have been asked on many occasions what got me started looking into my family history in Louisiana. What were some of my most interesting discoveries found along the way, and when was I going to write a book? As these questions came up I started to see a pattern with my responses. The challenge for me in writing this first book was narrowing down the focus to one compelling discovery. Once I did that, I had to write a story that would allow readers to see how my research and discoveries came about, as well as to learn about some of the results that came from my genealogical journey.
GOT PROOF! which is available now, will address many of those questions.

Remember these words:

You wrote: “…The challenge for me in writing this first book was narrowing down the focus to one compelling discovery…” and that is exactly how I feel when I think about or get asked when will I write a book. Glad that you narrowed it down and was able to take us (readers) on your remarkable research journey.
Thanks you Georgia Walker-Adams. I am pleased to hear you enjoyed reading GOT PROOF! My goal for this memoir was to inspire others on a similar journey to know that we can’t tell it all however we can start to tell something that would inspire others to do the same.
