BCG offers free webinar on Tuesday, January 18, 2022, 8:00 p.m. EST

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  Family histories are dull and boring if they reflect only the factual information found in historical documents.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.

BCG’s next free monthly webinar in conjunction with Legacy Family Tree Webinars is “Using Historical Fiction and Social History to Support Your Narrative” by Beth A. Stahr, CG®. This webinar airs Tuesday, January 18, 2022, at 8:00 p.m. eastern time (EST).

Beth A. Stahr, CG

She is a past trustee, treasurer, and president of the Board for Certification of Genealogists.

She was first certified by the BCG in 1990, is an alumnus of National Institute of Genealogical Research (NIGR) now the Genealogical Institute on Federal Records (Gen-Fed), and the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research and Excelsior College’s Genetic Genealogy class.
