  Creating an Ancestor Sketch

  with Thomas MacEntee

  
  

  Face it: most genealogists never get around to publishing that family history book based on their genealogy research. How about a different approach: producing short 3-5 page “sketches” about an ancestor? You’ll learn how to include a cover, photos, facts, family stories, source citations and more! And guess what, once you get a few of these ancestor sketches done, you can compile them together for one big book!

  Thomas MacEntee is a professional genealogist specializing in the use of technology and social media to improve genealogical research and as a means of interacting with others in the family history community.

  Genealogy Writing SIG Monthly Meeting

  Generally held on the 2nd Monday of the month, our SIG meeting is a hybrid of in-person and Zoom meetings.

  Are you passionate about genealogy and want to turn your research into compelling stories? The DCAGS Genealogy Writing SIG is here to help! This group focuses on transforming genealogical research into narratives, timelines, case studies, and other engaging formats, creating a lasting legacy for future generations.

  Unlike traditional genealogy groups, the Writing SIG emphasizes writing as a craft. It’s not about how to conduct research—it’s about how to share your findings effectively. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced writer, this group provides a supportive environment to develop your skills and preserve your family history.

  Date: Monday, May 12, 2025
  Time: 10:00 AM Central Time

  Whether you're starting your first family story or refining a complex proof argument, the DCAGS Genealogy Writing SIG is a place to grow, connect, and share. We welcome members of all levels to join us in preserving the past through the power of storytelling.

  For more details or to join the SIG, contact Bob Rettammel at brettammel@gmail.com.
