Hello friends - 

I'm looking forward to seeing you at the Abbotsford Family History Day! Family history is my passion, and I look forward to sharing tips and ideas on how to piece together and share your ancestors' stories.

I am happy to share these handouts with you; they will be available online here until a week after the conference.

See you soon!

Talk to Me: How to conduct a successful oral history interview
Picture
Interviewing relatives and strangers can be a rewarding way to gather genealogical clues and make your family history come alive. Avoid frustration and pitfalls by knowing which tools to use, how to prepare in advance, which questions to ask (or avoid), and how to share the interview with others. This hands-on session will help give you the tools and confidence to conduct your own oral history interview.

Family Storytelling 101: Write + share your family stories
Picture
Family history research is more than just tracing names and dates; it's finding, preserving and sharing the personal stories that go along with each person on your family tree. Feel overwhelmed by the thought of writing an entire book or not sure that you have enough material? Come and be inspired by examples, tips and ideas for writing and sharing short family vignettes and essays. If you are your family's story-keeper and are worried these stories might be lost, then this class is for you!
