2.  Heritage Scrapbooking Simplified
Scrapbooks can be a visually appealing way to share your family legacy with children and those who ‘aren’t interested’ in family history. We’ll discuss what goes into a heritage scrapbook and two sources that can help you complete your project. This workshop is based on the book Family History Scrapbooking Simplified. The workshop is influenced heavily by digital scrapbooking, but paper scrapbooking will also be mentioned.

3. Digitizing Grandma's Stuff
Inside our homes, there are many treasures and stories that will quickly be forgotten if someone does not take to capture and preserve the memories. In this workshop, we'll cover what you should digitize and why and then provide tips for scanning, photography, transcription, and more.

Have you taken a DNA test and want to know what to do next? Do you want to find out what genetic genealogy is all about and how it can help you?
If so, the Family History Fanatics DNA eWorkshop is the course for you. Over the course of three sessions (approx. 6 hours), you’ll learn what you can do with your DNA test to get the most bang for your buck. You don’t have to have already taken a DNA test, but it will be helpful to understand the principles and be able to do some of the homework assignments. This class is designed for genetic genealogy beginners.
Examples from the testing companies 23andMe, AncestryDNA, FamilyTreeDNA, and MyHeritageDNA will be used to explain genetic genealogy concepts and the tools available on the websites. Also, the third-party website Gedmatch.com will be used to show how anyone can take advantage of tools to expand their genealogical research. You’ll learn 8 steps you need to do to help your DNA testing be effective.
Each 2-hour session covers DNA basic principles, steps to take after the test, how to use DNA tools, and an open Q&A Session where you can ask any of your questions. An online quiz will also be given after each session to test your understanding of the material covered.

Our Surname Tables for DNA Research

Image
Researching your family tree using DNA can be complicated when you haven't created a surname table as a cheat sheet for referencing your data. Andy talks about these regularly in beginner DNA classes but I hadn't created one until today! And you're about to see my jealousy rear its beastly head. Before we begin, take a look at Andy's Surname Table: Look at the five spots that are holes in the 4th GGP section. That's not bad. The holes beside the Garnett in 3rd GGP only indicates that the Lees aren't really Lees and from that point on the surname line changes. Are you ready to see my chart? I'm really sad. Before you think I'm a terrible Genealogist, each missing surname comes with a challenge. The Anderson/Sparks is pretty 'righteous' (bad holey/holy pun) because Anderson and Sparks disappear from records after they have a child. There's only one record for William Anderson, of Sweden, in Missouri and nothing else. Oh, yea!  After that, the w...

When Do You Post a Second Photo on Find A Grave?

Image
Many people have varying degrees of photography skills. Some are point and shoot photographers. Others are very skilled. In the age when we're able to take photos of gravestones, the question arises, when should we post a second photo on a Find A Grave profile (or other websites)? When I go to a cemetery I attempt to follow a few rules: Make it Tidy Get Close Capture the Lot When I do that, I generally have good results when capturing a gravestone. I may be an amateur photographer, but I can capture fairly decent photographs that do more than just document the stone, but feature and highlight it. Stephen P. Mayer Dec. 16, 1857 - Oct. 23, 1922 Adaline Mayer 1861 - Jun. 30, 1932 Once in a while, I come across a memorial on  FindAGrave.com for which I have taken a photo, like the one above, with a decent photo already published. My approach in cemetery photography is this: Go to a plot that you know a few photos need to be taken and then snap pictures of the section around the s...

Best Reason to Share a Proof Copy of Your Family History

Image
Have you written a family history? Are you hesitant to print it for fear there are mistakes from the grammatical to the historically accurate? Why not publish a proof copy and share with a few family members? You'll soon learn the best reason to share a proof copy, is feedback. My goal in 2017 was to finish the final draft of the book about my grandpa Lewis Brown. I've shared stories about him on this blog before, and I use his story often when I teach how to write family histories. However, Lewis' story needed to leave my computer and reside on my bookshelf so my children will know about this beloved great grandpa. To edit my drafts, I had used  Grammarly.com  to catch most of the glaring mistakes. Several errors might still slip through, but the book wouldn't be excruciating to read due to the obvious spelling and grammatical errors. I cited all of my sources, but I still need to establish a consistent style. There is the genealogical standard, but there's also ML...
