Monday, November 1
Family History Writing SIG
7:00 pm to 9:00 pm ZOOM Meeting - Limited to SIG membership (its free)
We invite you to join us for the FxGS Family History Writing SIG online Zoom meeting on Monday night November 1st from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm to review Fran Millhouser's manuscript Who To Turn To.
Mary Ann Keats was twenty-two years old in 1861 when her husband died and left her alone with their three-year-old daughter. Who could she turn to for assistance? Her parents were deceased, but what about her sister and her brothers; or her three uncles and two aunts?
The information in census records, city directories, books and articles about members of her family reveal a pattern of survival that might have been common among women of means who were widowed or remained unmarried during the late 1850s and early 1900s.
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.
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.
Join us at the online Zoom meeting and see how historical context can be incorporated in family history narratives. See how two stories can be told at once, placing the protagonist in the center of the action, adding suspense, injecting drama, and using dialogue to move the story forward.
