And other true stories …

I met Brian Henry a number of years ago when he was giving a writing workshop in Ottawa, and now I see where he has added a workshop on writing your memoirs, and family history.

In his workshop he will “Introduce you to the tricks and conventions of telling true stories and will show you how to use the techniques of the novel to recount actual events. Whether you want to write for your family or for a wider public, don't miss this workshop”.

He will be holding a Saturday, November 19 workshop from 1:00 p.m. To 4:30 p.m. at the Lions Club, 935 Sydenham Road, in Kingston.

You can register, and reserve a spot by writing to Brian at brianhenry@sympatico.ca .

Research Wiki Needs Writers!

The Research Wiki of the FamilySearch.org https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Main_Page where it publishes various articles on doing research in a particular county on many subjects.

Canada is listed 98th out of the most popular entries with over 20,000 views.

But they still need more articles on Canada.

Do you have articles that have yet to be published?

They have a complete guide to writing the articles, what is needed, and how to put the articles on the Research Wiki.

Go to the website to find out what you need to do at https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Canada
