Description

Attendees will discover they already have the materials to create factual and intriguing stories of their ancestors. This session will show the process of creating the story by using an actual case study of a family to demonstrate how to use documents to create living stories from their own Family History. Attendees already have the story; they just don’t realize it. This session will show them how.
