Synopsis

We all want to share the family stories we have learned. Bringing research reports to family gatherings prompts yawns; writing a full-length book feels overwhelming. A book for young readers is in the "Goldilocks' Zone" between those two extremes. This kind of book is a non-intimidating way to both write and share a story. The process is simple. Choose the focus of the book. It can be the story of an immigrant family, or one ancestor's military service, or any other significant person or time period in your family's history. Collect the events, dates and places captured from your research effort. Then, construct a timeline. Then weave that timeline with the context of historical events and contemporary images into the fabric of an illustrated narrative. This process can help uncover holes in your research, and be expanded to the full-length book you have been wanting to write.The book discusses an example book about the military service of a WWI Pioneer Infantryman in "Marching and Mules" that was created using this process.
