Plucking Stories from the Family Tree
and
Scrivener Software, a Tool for Writing Your Family History
Sunday, February 22, 2015 1:30 pm
at Temple Emanuel, Newton, MA
Plucking Stories from the Family Tree
Speaker: Suzette Martinez Standring
Stories of adventure, courage, or quirkiness make ancestors come alive, and help us to understand much about ourselves. A one-page written snapshot preserves a milestone, or experiences from a different era, or details of a special person as a lasting treasure. Such a written remembrance to family and friends can be a unique gift. Suzette Martinez Standring will illustrate how we can create stories that linger on the minds of readers.
Speaker: Julie Michutka
Julie Michutka will introduce you to Scrivener—a powerful software app for writing up your genealogical research. Scrivener is ideal for work that entails gathering a variety of resources, writing in short segments, experimenting with different orderings of those segments, and then creating a variety of outputs. It can be used to produce both print and digital publications.
3:30 pm – meet with the Belarus Special Interest Group
