Benefits of Writing about Ancestors and Family

  1. Go beyond collecting records and entering names and dates on a chart

  2. Share with others who are not necessarily interested in genealogy charts

  3. Flesh out a life story or event

  4. Preserve family stories and histories for future generations

  5. Utilize your research to tell a story

Also

  1. Writing sometimes exposes gaps and inconsistencies in the data from records

  2. Writing leads you to do additional research to fill in gaps of missing information

Benefits of being in a Writers' Group

  1. Receive constructive critique and suggestions for improving your stories

  2. Learn from the approach and topics that others write about

  3. Be inspired by what you hear from others

  4. Motivation for putting pen to paper (or keying in a document) on a regular basis

  5. There is no expectation that a member write something every month

Types of writing that are shared in a Writers' Group

  1. Describe the life and family of an ancestor

  2. Write a story about the times and experiences that an ancestor was a part of

  3. Write about personal experiences or events

  4. Write about HOW you discovered information about an ancestor

  5. Write about the types of documentation and sources that were found

  6. Write about Grandma's recipes

  7. Write about careers and occupations

  8. Write about your childhood community

There are NO expectations or limits on topics or approaches

What our Writers Say

Anne Menard: "Writers' Group helps me to get stories on paper that have been passed down through the family and to research the context of those stories. The group has given me opportunities to research such things as my father's role in the Federal Writers' Project and my great-grandfather's role in the Civil War, based on the letters he sent back to Ohio from 1861-1865. I have also self-published a book of my father's poetry."

Terry Jackson: "A benefit of writing stories is that it requires revisiting sources for information and searching for new records to fill in the gaps."

Cary Stone-Greenstein: "I especially like assuring potential writers that there are no right or wrong topics, but only what appeals to them."

    The monthly meeting of the Morning Writers Group, at 10am

    We ‘gather’ via ZOOM, each at their computer, and read and discuss our writings. ZOOM has made it easier for us to invite guests and to ‘gather' from afar. We even have members log on from Florida.

    Join us every third Monday at 10:00 a.m. for insightful sessions! Writing is a good habit to get into and leads to discovering the footprints of our ancestors. It also gives you a goal to add to your research agenda; some of us need a goal to be sure that writing about our research follows!

    Contact Jim Neal at 302-250-5431 (cell) for notification or questions.

    Writers Groups are a valuable benefit for members but guests are welcome to "test drive" and sit in on a session.  Open to all members and prospective members of NSGS.

    Benjamin Banneker and Us; Eleven Generations of an American Family

    Speaker: Rachel Jamison Webster, author & NU professor

    Benjamin Banneker was a real historical figure who lived in Maryland from 1731-1806. He published bestselling almanacs, helped to survey Washington D.C., and corresponded with Thomas Jefferson about the injustice of slavery.

    Her excellent and thought-provoking book is on every level about unknowing rather than knowing — about pondering the mysteries of Banneker, who is often described as one of the first African American scientists, and the legacy of 11 generations of a multiracial American family that only now is coming into view.

    Tracing Genealogy Through the French and Indian Wars

    Speaker: Michelle Wilson

    The French and Indian Wars (1688-1783), known as the Intercontinental Wars in Quebec, were a series of conflicts across what is today the US/Canadian border involving British, French and Dutch colonials and Native Americans. Of particular interest to American and French-Canadian genealogists are the thousands of persons taken captive from New England frontier villages and force marched or carried to Canada. We will tell the story of the four wars making up these conflicts and how to track the many children and their parents who were caught up as captives, using the Deerfield raid of 1704 as an example.

    "Historical Context Genealogy" can help my Family History

    speaker: Peg Kapustiak, M.S.

                

    More Than a Name and a few Dates: “Historical Context Genealogy” is how you can fill in the many interesting details of your families plus find new names, dates, and photographs. Think of it as Facebook or People Magazine about your family. Or think of it as “Ok I have my Dates from the Internet. But Where do I find more information about my Family?” - Internet Genealogy has become a favorite way to find birth, marriage, and death dates, but there is so much more you can find. We will give examples using our 15 favorite sources for new information or to document family legends. Discover new family lines, GREAT stories and interesting family relationships.

    Reaping a Harvest with Land Records

    Speaker: Larry W. Thomas


    Have you been doing genealogy research for a long time but never looked at land records? There is often quite a lot of useful information in these records that goes overlooked. Everything from family members, family dynamics, occupations, and wealth. You can find legal separations, gifts of land to children and grandchildren, membership in associations, and many other interesting information. With this you might reap a harvest of information.
