Writing Your Family History

Mike Sharpe will show us various approaches to writing and presenting a family history, either in print or online. Here he describes how to build basic facts about your family into an engaging narrative; how to add substance to this skeleton from genealogical and historical sources including how to deal with the non-text elements, photographs documents and maps. Mike finally will round off by giving some tips on writing your own life story.

Mike is Chairman of our Bromsgrove Group, society trustee, a professional researcher and genealogist.
