Ever Use a Timeline?  If not, why not?

This talk by Sharon Hodges may help you understand more about your ancestors and even answer some questions.  We want to place our ancestors in their historical, social, and economic background.  Creating a timeline of an ancestor’s life makes it is easy to see facts, relationships, missing information, and maybe even where you should look next. 

Genealogists need to understand changing and disputed borders, since the records they are looking for may be in a different jurisdiction than they expect. 

Have you been thinking of compiling your research into a document to share with family?  This talk may inspire you to actually sit down and do it.  Natonne Elaine Kemp will cover preparing family trees and histories for a family reunion, writing an article to submit to historical or genealogical society and writing a book.  Join us in person (and take home a free book or two!) at our library in Bowie (see above).  There will be a virtual option for our more distant members; a link will be sent before the meeting.  Either way, we look forward to seeing you then.  Note:  the talk will not be about the pictured book!
