“Writing Family History – Turning Research into Shareable Stories”
Here’s the problem. Your family doesn’t want your research. First, it appears at least on the surface, they’re not interested in your family history. They want stories to come to them in an easily shareable manner. But a book with a collection of family stories they can put on their coffee table or display on a bookshelf is much more likely to appeal to them. It’s also likely to get read and shared
You will leave this presentation armed with the first steps to starting a family history narrative and motivated to turn your boxes of documents into an expressive and lasting legacy for future generations.
