| Dear Fellow Genealogist,
Ancestry.com is a genealogy powerhouse with the ability to help you find records, build your family tree, communicate with other genealogists, make discoveries via DNA, and more. Power, however, can be intimidating.
If you don’t feel you are using Ancestry to its full potential, our guide to tips and tricks for beginners is here to empower you. Many of these activities can be done at no cost: building a tree, searching free databases, and hiding your DNA matches. Join us today at 3pm or our live Immersive Course, Ancestry Search and Trees: From Confusion to Confidence, to further increase your skills.
As you gain confidence using Ancestry by building your tree and collecting documents about your recent and distant ancestors, you may be inspired to write about them. Writing, however, can be as intimidating as power.
Gain writing skills with two additional articles in today’s newsletter. First, our digital editor, Melina Papadopoulos, describes seven different ways to write about your ancestors: biography, autobiography, memoir, poetry, fiction, edited letters and journals, and historical narrative. Melina emphasizes that it’s your family so you can choose how you write about them.
Next, Rhonda Lauritzen walks you through eight steps to ensure that you have the right amount of detail, no matter what form your family story takes.
Refusing to be intimidated,
— Amanda, eLearning Producer, Family Tree University
