We invite you to join us for the meeting of the FxGS Family History Writing SIG online Zoom meeting on Wednesday night, November 6th, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. The Zoom meeting room will open at about 6:30 pm. Feel free to come early to chat if you want. As the fall season progresses, we hope that your compilations of family records and new insights into your family histories have been productive and that you now have draft manuscripts to share with the group. Please let me know if you have been working on a manuscript you would like to have reviewed.

After reviewing numerous newspaper and magazine articles, the manuscript Grace Livingston Furniss – Playwright and Author was prepared for the Furniss family records and possible publication. It is a brief account of Grace’s life and her works.

Reviewing readers should focus on biographical information on pp 1-7

We are all at different levels of writing skills and experience, and we enjoy helping each other. Whether questions of grammar, comma usage, spelling variations, or those fiendish footnotes, we welcome the opportunity to discuss and debate the issues.

We are looking for manuscripts to review at the 2024-2025 meetings (Dec 2, Jan 6, Feb 3, Mar 3, Apr 7, May 5, and June 2). Your participation is important in holding the meetings and sharing your experience in preparing manuscripts for family, friends, community archives and libraries, and publication.

If you wish to be added to the members' list to receive a copy of the draft manuscript by email and join the online meetings, please send your name and email address to SIG co-leader Sean Furniss at Sean.Furniss@gmail.com.

Copies of the 2016-2024 manuscripts, a copy of the current guidelines, and other files that may be of interest can be found in the Informational Guidelines in the DropBox folder at:
