Writing Family History Workshop

FamilyHistory
During this month of January while Destination Books is in hibernation, I have been devoting my energy (fueled by holiday cookies) preparing for a workshop I am moderating at the DeKalb History Center located in the downtown Decatur Courthouse. It started with my book A Father's Letters: Connecting Past to Present which came out early last year. In July 2024 I did a workshop about the book and with the encouragement of the History Center it has been expanded. 

One take away from the previous workshop is that participants feel a kinship with the like-minded individuals, which makes for a good exchange of ideas and thoughts.  

Moreover, this is the time of year that reminds people about families, and you may have a made a resolution that 2025 will be the year you are moving forward on capturing those important memories.  This workshop can help.

For more details, including a syllabus visit the DeKalb History Center Workshop events page which includes times and the links to register.
