Sherry Monahan has over 15 years of researching and writing about the past. She started as a novice and has evolved into a super sleuth. If you want someone from the past found, she’s likely to find them.
Her most recent accomplishment is for her latest book, To California and Back. She traced an English woman, who used an alias, from England to California, to New York City, and back to England. In between all that, this woman traveled around the U.S., which Sherry also tracked. When Sherry contacted the woman’s descendants they were astonished that Sherry knew more than they ever had!
Sherry has seven non-fiction books published—all included deep research to find people, businesses, and other details of daily life for a region, subject, or town. She also writes a monthly column for True West magazine entitled, Frontier Fare, which entails research of food and related stories in the Victorian West.
Sherry is a member of the National Genealogical Society and the Association of Professional Genealogists. She currently serves on the executive board for Western Writers of America, and holds memberships in Women Writing the West, the Author’s Guild, National Women’s History Museum, and the Wild West History Association.
It’s this love of research and her knack for finding lost relatives that prompted Sherry to offer her keen research skills to others.
