Finding Heroes

There are heroes and heroines in our ancestry, with stories to tell; we just need to find them. Take your ancestral story writing to new heights as you learn the basics of Family History research and how to create, polish and present your family history stories online. You will learn how to share your stories in a blog or in the cloud.

Family History research is an extremely popular pursuit, even more so in recent times when we are isolated or locked down, restricted to movement outside of our homes during the 2020 Pandemic. Many more family historians are using their time to find out more about their ancestors. How to research and build a family tree are high on the list of tasks for them. Others just want to write and share stories about their heroes and need to know how to get started. On completion of this course you will be able to choose the most appropriate tools and methods for creating the data, the story line and the shareable story of your ancestor. You will be able to move on confidently to the creation of more stories using the techniques learned in this course. Most importantly you will be able to make a contribution to the preservation of your family history and leave a legacy for your descendants. As a genealogist and family historian with a teaching background and course creation skills, I can help you build your stories and share them online. My story writing pursuits stretch back for over a decade and after completion of my Diploma in Family History I know I have the answers to many of your questions about preserving family history. In this course How to Create Your Family Stories, I present and teach you how to use several practical tools for connecting with your ancestry.
