Ancestry announced yesterday the launch of Storymaker Studio, a new feature in the Ancestry app that easily allows users to create bite-sized stories from their family history and share them within the Ancestry community and on their personal social media channels.
Storymaker Studio allows Ancestry members to curate facts, images, records and memories and tell the stories of their family history.
With this new tool, members can upload and enhance photos and images, record and upload audio files (for the first time on Ancestry), integrate photos with audio, and publish their Ancestry Stories to their trees, on their personal social channels and within the Ancestry community.
With Storymaker Studio, you can become the storymaker for your family’s history.
“Historical records and family trees are the cornerstone of genealogy research, showing moments of times and the relationships between people in several generations of a family,” said Ancestry Corporate Genealogist Crista Cowan. “Yet all of us know they are so much more than that. They capture love stories, triumphs, struggles and bravery — the stories of our family and heritage. They are the blueprint of what makes us, us.”
in sharable, bite-sized stories.
To get started using Storymaker Studio, users can download or update the Ancestry mobile app and choose a story prompt. From there, they can easily add images, historical records and audio recordings to tell the story of their family and then publish to the Ancestry community, save to their tree, or share to their social media channels.
Storymaker Studio is currently free with the Ancestry mobile app. Check out the Storymaker Studio at https://www.ancestry.com/storymaker and share your story on Ancestry and social media using #MyAncestryStory.
Crista Cowan yesterday delivered her presentation, What’s New at Ancestry, at RootsTech during which she spoke about Storymaker Studio. Her presentations are always worth a watch. Fortunately for us, if we missed the live presentation, we can watch it at our leisure through the same link.
