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! Audience Level: Beginner – Expert. Handout: 4 pages. Highlights include Creating an Ancestor Sketch: Outline; Basic Elements of an Ancestor Biography Sketch; Ancestor Sketch Formats; Importing Genealogy Research Information; Source Citation, Copyrighted Material, and Credits; Documenting Family Stories; Tips, Tricks, and Tools; Resource List
