Writing about Family History - and Teaching Family History at Good Shepherd Community Church

On March 2, 2014 I taught a class called Introduction to Family History at Good Shepherd Community Church, as part of a continuing program called Heritage of Hope.  It was a special day in several ways.  I shared the microphone with my friend Stu Weber, and it was also my anniversary.  Twenty-nine years ago today, Stu married Kristi and I.  Happy 29th, Kristi

I'll be teaching a similar class at Cornerstone Community Church in May.

As many of you may know, I've had some success in writing for family history magazines, including Family Chronicle and Discovering Family History.  Good news - I sold two articles to Family Chronicle yesterday!  Watch this space and I'll keep you informed of when the magazine comes out, and I'll eventually post the articles here.  One article is called "What's a Family Heirloom, and Where can I Get One."  The other is called "Handling Sensitive Information - and What to do About the Black Sheep in your Family Tree."
