Legacy Family Tree Webinars will host the free webinar, Structuring a Family History: Part 1, presented by Carol Baxter, on Wednesday, October 26, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time.
To write a family history, we must convert our ancestral information into paragraphs of prose. But how do we group the resulting paragraphs to produce a coherent structure? We start by asking ourselves what we wish to achieve. Are we writing a history that focuses on a surname line? Or one that covers all of our ancestors, or all of our descendants, or all of the ancestors and descendants of a particular person? And how do we craft an individual biography? Do we produce a family history that is a group of stand-alone biographies or one that has a narrative-style flow? These and other subjects are discussed in this simple guide to structuring a family history.
Registration is required to watch the live webinar. If you can’t attend the live event, a recording will be available to watch for free for up to seven days afterward in the webinar library.
Classes 2-4 will be part of Legacy Family Tree Webinar’s October 2022 conference on Saturday, October 29. Visit their website for the details. The syllabus will be free for all.
