I believe it is possible for a family historian to bring their ancestors to life on the page, give them a face, emotions and motivations all while drawing from research,
Very good. Thank you for the many suggestions.
Thanks, Lynn, this Story LIne was a nice reminder to researching different avenues to make our ancestors come alive for the reader.
Thank you so much for this video. One of my biggest frustrations is not having a photo of my Great Great Grandpa. I’m writing a book about him and I can’t believe I can’t find a photo of him anywhere. Considering he was a Capt. in the Civil War and fairly famous/infamous in his time due to a feud he was involved in after the war. Ultimately he was murdered and his killer was hung.
There are a LOT of newspaper articles on him and this feud, even written about overseas, but it seem not one photo can be found of him. I do have descriptions of him and photos of close male relatives so, I guess I’ll have to build a picture in everyone’s minds with those.
Thanks again!
This was very helpful. I am still flushing out people and dates and hope to add more info later.
