Stories of your ancestors, wouldn't you love to have some? Most of us don't have written stories of our distant family, as much as we long to know what their lives were like. Our class will demonstrate how to write these stories yourself, using sources that are probably already attached to your family tree! Learn how to use census records, vital records, newspaper stories, cemeteries, and social/geographical/military history to write interesting stories of your family. We will take apart a story showing where each element came from, and share some tips on how to not only make your stories interesting, but fun ways to share them with your family.~Linda
