​Bringing Family History Alive
in Bite-Size Projects 
Saturday, January 18, 2025
Steve Radack Community Center
18650 Clay Road
Meet & Greet: 10:00 am
Program Begins at 10:30 am
​​Get fresh ideas for documenting family history stories in engaging, practical, bite-sized projects that can be shared with relatives and posted on genealogy websites for the sake of future generations.
Learn why and how to narrow your focus to one ancestor or family, occasion, heirloom, photo, or place. Like a sprint rather than a marathon, each project takes a short time and gives you flexibility to be creative in spotlighting one aspect of family history to share with relatives now.
This presentation includes examples of projects such as brief ancestor bios and booklets, heirloom background stories, ancestor coloring books, full-size and small photobooks, and audio/video-based family history.​
