How to Write Ancestor Stories Your Relatives Will Want to Read

Part of the thrill of genealogy is sharing our discoveries with those we love, so it can be disappointing when family members and friends don't appreciate our passion.  But who can blame them!  After all, good genealogical research provides information about our ancestors, but most of it consists of dry, lifeless data that doesn't offer much of a sense of who these folks were, or what their lives were like.  But our ancestors were real people, not just names, dates, and places, and their stories are worth fleshing out. This presentation focuses on how to turn the bare facts into tales worthy of being read, even by reluctant readers.
