W06 CONTENT
To write a family history, we must convert our ancestral information into paragraphs of prose. But how do we group the resulting paragraphs to produce a coherent structure?
We start by asking ourselves what we wish to achieve. Are we writing a family history that focuses on a surname line? Are we writing one that covers all of our ancestors or all of our descendants or all of the ancestors and descendants of a particular person?
And how do we craft an individual biography? Do we produce a family history that is a group of stand-alone biographies or one that has a narrative-style flow?
These and other subjects are discussed in this course.
This course is an expansion of the lesson shown below: Structuring a Family History. This lesson aired as a Legacy Family Tree Webinar in October 2022. There are more than 100 review comments on their website, which can be seen here. They include the following:
