Write Your
Family History NOW!
We
genealogists are very good at doing research and collecting many
facts about our families. For any of a number of reasons, however,
most of us delay publishing the results of this research. Mike
Karsen shows how you can publish your findings in books that vary
from a simple 30 pages to one that contains detailed biographies and
places your family in historical context. Your goal should be to
organize your findings and share them with your family as soon as
possible.
In
this unique presentation, Mike Karsen walks the audience through the
process of preserving the memories of departed loved ones. Where
genealogy meets family history, this presentation explores the
elements of putting together an individual’s life story. Framed
against the backdrop of historical context, these elements begin
with collecting the information and various formats and styles
available to each author. These efforts result in written portraits
of our ancestors that bring them back to life for future generations
to know and cherish.
Liven Up Your
Family History with Images
Family histories can
contain phenomenal research with every event documented and sourced
with precision but yet no one is interested in reading it. This
is because they need to be more than just names and dates, they need to be
vehicles for “Time Travel” taking us back to the days when our
grandparents and great-grandparents lived and raised their families.
These images to bring them to life and make the story real. This presentation illustrates
how to “liven up” your family history with images of people, places,
and events that will make the reader keep flipping the pages to be
drawn back in time.
