Bring the Story of your Ancestors to Life
This talk will demonstrate some of the methods that can be used to pass your research on to others in an interesting manner. From putting your research together; choosing a style; deciding what to include; adding social and local history context, to how to deal with family stories, missing pieces and anomalies. With a focus on writing up your family history as a biography or series of ancestral cameos, it also looks at formats such as blogs, websites, audio, visual displays and newsletters.
