You are invited to our new event: Nine Months to #TellTheStory
You have until May 15, 2016. You are encouraged to pick one of the following tasks: 1. Prove or disprove a believe that comes from your own oral or written family history using a record. 2. Record an ancestor (audio or video) 3. Share copies of a photograph of an ancestor with the younger generation. 4. Record a story of your own (audio or video) After you have completed one of the activities above, encourage a neighbor or friend to complete one too. We want to encourage everyone to also take a closer look at how oral history, photographs, and stories can help you find historical records. Share your success on the Genealogy Memories! Just Ask!

Here is a book I created about our family's history and my own journey to South Carolina at HeritageMakers.com a few years ago. You should be able to browse each page:
