Like many of you, I get diverted, go off on a tangent, get distracted. It happens. Eleven years ago I wrote my dissertation “In Living Memory.” I always knew that I would use that as the basis for a book. I started re-writing. I got distracted. After all, my dissertation and now my book, are based on my own genealogical research and my journey as a researcher. Although my dissertation, and now my book “Stories They Never Told Us” used my family’s history as the vehicle to discuss research strategies and techniques, resources, and yes, even how easy it is to get off-track and follow red-herrings! Tonight, after many drafts, and revision after revision, I finally approved a draft and now am waiting for a copy of my book. Once again, I will go over it page by page and this time, hopefully, find no errors. The book will be available for sale on August 1, 2024. Stay tuned for ordering information!
