Genealogy
Friday, March 1, 1 to 3 p.m., the Genealogy Forum presents a two-hour Memoir Writing Workshop with Doris Gallan. She says that people undertaking genealogy research are often inspired to write the stories of their ancestry. While most writers do this to share the uncovered information with their families, others write to inform the general public about some interesting historical happenings.
This fun-filled and informative memoir-writing workshop will provide opportunities to start setting down your stories through in-class exercises that will cover how to: get started by asking six important questions; organize yourself, your space, and your writing; find inspiration and make it work for you; and gain credibility through basic research.
The Genealogy Forum meets on the first Friday of the month at the LDS Church in Riberas del Pilar. New members are always welcome. No experience required and no fees.
