What a wonderful experience for all to learn of others journey in this life-sharing process, honing one’s organizational, research and writing skills, and participating in a community of like-minded family historians.
The spring cleaning theme is so apropos in this context. Not only does it garner thoughts of cleaning up and clearing out, but also the sprouting of newness, the ability to let go, lightening our loads. Like the purple and yellow crocus waiting patiently to poke their heads toward the sun, nature’s cadence reminds us of our own circadian rhythm when we accept the responsibility to explore our storied roots.

LEGACIES, LLC ON-LINE CLASSES
The Making of a Family Historian
There’s no time to lose in capturing a life or family story. There is healing and celebration, discovery and closure in this timeless expedition. This 18 week on-line course is a beginner’s journey from organizing, researching to writing and publishing family histories created to give participants of all ages the framework and tools to tackle their own family history projects. Four modules comprised of four/five classes plus an opening class set the stage. The entire series is structured to be taken in its entirety or separate modules as needed.
Guided Autobiography
Everyone has a story and each lifetime is rich in details. For beginning autobiographers, participating in a group has many advantages over writing in isolation. The Guided Autobiography series consists of ten sessions provided by Legacies, LLC | Personal, Family and Organizational Historians. G.A. has proven effective for helping people remember events and experiences from their lives and share them in a supportive environment. Join other writers in organizing, crafting and celebrating their life story. Mary Patricia Voell, personal historian, professional speaker, adult educator and family history coach invites you to be part of a Legacies community and celebrate your family story.

- Those who are taking the time before it’s too late. Diane and Sandi both took the lesson to heart to Interviewing First! Research Later!
- Those who are going through their boxes and binders of family photos and documents which beg for our attention. By taking the time to rummage through the many boxes, Elly found, much to her surprise, a 100 page history already written.
- Those who are digging deeper into their family stories revealing buds of ancestral narrative. Peter discovered a link to his Polish roots, and Carol connected with Mike to help her break open a lost relative’s past.
- Those who have taken the leap toward writing their stories. A very excited Beth brought to our Family Historian Special Interest Group her newly published book.
