From Researcher to Writer (Part 1): Preparing to write your ancestor’s story

You’ve compiled years’ worth of charts, folders, files and binders. But what will happen to them after you’re gone? Now is the time to shape your ancestral research into compelling family stories.

Don’t know where to start? Need encouragement? Join Karen Inkster Vance at the August 10, 2022 BCGS meeting. By the end of the session, you will be able to: choose which ancestor’s story to tell, get your research ready for storytelling, and identify historical context methods to fill gaps in your ancestor’s story.

Save the date for Saturday, November 19, 2022 when Karen will present the next session, From Researcher to Writer (Part 2): Writing your ancestor’s story (a 2 hour presentation + writing workshop).
