Creating an Ancestor Sketch. A GSBC Program

Creating an Ancestor Sketch: Face it, most genealogists never get around to publishing that family history book based on their genealogy research.

Topic: 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.

Speaker: Thomas MacEntee — author, educator, and well-known genealogy expert. Since 2010, he has delivered over 1,000 genealogy lectures, served on multiple genealogical society boards, organized 1,000+ genealogy bloggers, and helped researchers save on genealogy products. Thomas now focuses on transforming how genealogists learn, encouraging new technologies, and preserving family stories and heirlooms for future generations.
