Genealogy Club News

The March 10 workshop will feature a brief review of the techniques for citing your sources. It is always a good idea to remember that important part of genealogy research. We'll also hear from any members who took advantage of the weekend's free access to Find My Past if they found new information on that site. We will then continue with our regular workshop activities.


Legacy has a webinar scheduled for March 11 titled "Crafting Ancestor Profiles from Start to Finish." This presentation is intended to give you a start on writing about your ancestors. Here's the description from Legacy regarding Lisa Alzo's topic:
              

"Starting one ancestor at a time is often the best way to get going with writing your family history. Learn how to craft compelling ancestor profiles from start to finish and how to effectively weave them into a larger narrative. Attendees are invited to submit a draft of a 500 word profile to Lisa ahead of time (lisa@lisaalzo.com). Three will be randomly selected for critique by Lisa during the live webinar."


If you're interested in submitting a draft, this doesn't give you much time. However, members who have begun writing about their ancestors will most likely have something like this available. Register to watch in real time at www.familytreewebinars.com or plan to take a look during the next week.
