Writing our family stories

Genealogy can be a fascinating and rewarding hobby for people of all ages. However, getting family and friends interested in our research can often be a challenge. Writing our family's story can be a way to get our family members excited to learn about our ancestors. On this Saturday, Jan. 21, the Irish Family History Forum will present “Writing Family History: Shaping Genealogy into Shareable Stories” with writing coach Lynn Palermo.
