Bring Family History Alive in Bite-Sized Projects - Get fresh ideas for documenting family history in engaging, practical, bite-sized projects that can be shared with relatives and posted on genealogy websites for the sake of future generations. Like a sprint rather than a marathon, each project takes a short time and allows you to be creative in spotlighting one specific aspect of family history to share. Learn why and how to narrow your focus to one ancestor or family, occasion, heirloom, photo, or place. Presentation includes how-to examples of projects such as brief ancestor bios and booklets, heirloom background stories, ancestor coloring books, photo books, and audio/video-based family history.
