About this webinar

You’ve researched facts; you’re ready to write. How do you imagine ancestors’ lives? Family histories are dull and boring if they reflect only the factual information found in historical documents. Historical fiction and social history can provide context and enhance your writing.

    Thanks for this presentation. I found it useful and intent to explore using some of the techniques in my own writing.

    I found the information about how to use social history very interesting as I’ve just been doing that to show some family history to cousins.

    I enjoyed this webinar on historical fiction and social history. Figuring out how to weave the possible into the facts to add flavor and context is definitely a weak area for me. Listening to another genealogists process is very helpful in trying to figure out what my successful process will look like.

    I learned so much information today that I will use in the future. I am not a professional genealogist but you made this webinar comfortable for those of us who are not. So many books I want to read that you presented. Thank you for an excellent delivery and presentation. Well worth the time.
