Ancestors in Context: Putting the history in your family history
|
Whatever your family background, chances are you can find dozens of stories around food: struggling to find it during times of hardship; hunting, fishing and gardening; canning and preserving; cooking and baking with passed down recipes; and eating together at family gatherings. Since so much family history is created around food, these stories and recipes are worth preserving. Get inspired by some of my family food memories and learn how you can write and share your own family's tabletop stories through short vignettes, essays or published books.

Family Storytelling 101: Write + share your family stories

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!
