This is my current biography. Please feel free to use it when referencing my work.
Paul K. Graham, Certified Genealogist, is an independent historical and genealogical researcher. He is currently pursuing a graduate degree at Georgia State University. He has performed research for clients since 2004.
Paul researched the ancestry of actor-comedian Chris Tucker, an Atlanta native, for the television series African American Lives, which first ran on PBS in February 2006. In 2007 he researched the childhood history and family secrets of Marine Corps Lieutenant General Victor Krulak for an upcoming biography.
Paul is a graduate of the George Washington University and previously worked as a title examiner in Georgia, gaining valuable knowledge of property and probate law and records. He was the archivist for the DeKalb History Center from 2006 to 2008.
Combining his love for genealogy and his knowledge of Georgia land history, Paul published two reference books on the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery. The books document the participants, winners, and grantees in the first of eight Georgia land lotteries. He plans to complete similar books for the other land lotteries.
In December 2005, the Georgia Genealogical Society recognized Paul’s land lottery research by presenting him an award for “Outstanding Contribution to the Field of Genealogy.”
Paul is a member of various historical and genealogical organizations and currently serves as Publications Director for the Georgia Genealogical Society.
