I’ve heard it too many times over the years:

“Jenny, you really should help me get my ancestral history written!”

<Groan!> I wish I could! But I’ve got five kids to raise, an entire house to clean, a dissertation-writing husband to support, and a church assignment that takes up every last scrap of free time I might find.

Still, while I can’t help all of my friends, family, and neighbors one-on-one, I CAN post some guidelines, tips, instructions, and writing prompts to hopefully get you all started. Please follow for this blog, folks, and I will do my best here to help you take all the genealogical data you’ve compiled over the years and turn it into a story!
