Presenting Your Family History

Speaker: Ted Udall

Most of us are not trained historians or archivists. We tend to dive in and collect information in a variety of haphazard ways and end up with piles of “stuff”. This presentation gives some guidelines as to what to do (in the nicest possible way) with all the research material you’ve collected, both real and virtual. We are pleased to welcome the Somerset and Dorset Family History Society Secretary to present at this meeting.
