Ready to write down your family history?
Glen Young has spent years documenting his family history with the goal of capturing not just names and dates, but the lived experiences and stories that define each generation. This presentation will walk through the structured method he uses to create narrative-style family histories—an approach that blends genealogical research with historical context, personal storytelling, and thoughtfully chosen supporting materials. Along the way, Glen will share examples from his own work, including some surprising and meaningful discoveries that made the time and effort especially worthwhile. His process reveals the real-life events and societal forces that shaped each generation, creating a rich and enduring legacy.
