Where do I begin and end my ancestor’s story?



Hey there, fellow scribes! Welcome back to Storylines, where we dive deep into the art of family history storytelling.

Are you writing a birth to death tale of your ancestor’s life? 

Is it coming off rather boring and dry? 

In today’s Storylines, we look at an alternative that allows for a much more engaging and entertaining story.

  1. How do I access your news and updates about the Loon Lake retreat? I can’t remember the title you gave to this

  2. Thank you again! I had decided where my story started and where it would end, but you suggested a few ideas I had not entertained that will make the end more interesting.
    I hope your upcoming retreats go well! I am not able to go, but they sound wonderful.
