Terissa K. Morrow

Terissa K. Morrow works the history of Cement, Oklahoma the way a genealogist works a family line — one record at a time. Local newspapers, courthouse files, cemetery markers, Ancestry trees, Find a Grave entries, and interviews with people who still remember.

The Cement Stories books grew out of that research. This site is about the published work, not a menu of paid services. If you want to read what the records support, start with the book.

Terissa writes in plain language: no invented drama, no filler, no rate card. She follows the evidence — obituaries, land deeds, oral histories — and lets the story stand on what can be documented.

Before The Bootlegger, she compiled family history for publication on Bookemon (The Story of Us) and maintained a public genealogy profile — the same posture of documented research, shared for others tracing their own lines.
