Marlo Schuldt -- Using Calendars and Storybooks to Increase Interest and Share Family History

Sometimes it's difficult to get the attention of our children and relatives as we attempt to share family history. Often the problem is “their past history” of trying to plow through many dry pages of dates and names looking for something of interest. Therefore it's not easy for us to convince others that we have some new and interesting things to share with them. We have a fun solution to this problem.

This class will provide you with new ideas and ways to entice your children and relatives to take a look at some of the new things you have created. You will learn how to create interesting family history calendars and storybooks that are enhanced with family photos and oral stories.
