Is it something only done by old people in dusty libraries? If you answered &#8220;Yes&#8221; then this book is for you. The technology of the 21st Century has changed how Family History can be done. Too many people are stuck in an 20th Century mindset where Genealogy is filling out pedigree charts and family group sheets. This book contains no pedigree charts to fill out. Nor is there a single family group sheet to add information to. Learn how you can take the focus away from boring paperwork and do the things you like whether it is taking photographs, interviewing, or writing the stories of your ancestors. Everyone is needed to help create Family History.<br \/>\nDevon Lee uses her 20 years of experience doing family history to help get you away from the old and dusty genealogy of days past. Part 1 describes how we need to re-orient how family history is taught and presented to others to Discover, Organize, Record, and Share. Part 2 goes into many of the tools that are available to the 21st Century Family Historian including: digital photography, social media, DNA, research databases, and much, much more. Whether you are new to Family History or you are skeptical that anyone can change your mind about it being boring, this book will help you see that Family History can be so much more than a series of pedigree charts with names, dates, and places.<br \/>\nIf nothing else, Devon tells you that the easiest thing you can do is label your photos. If you already have that done, read the book and see where else you can get involved. If you haven&#8217;t done it, read the book and get inspired to label your photos!<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-3\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ac&amp;ref=qf_sp_asin_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=norweggeneala-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B00MZ8YNE4&amp;asins=B00MZ8YNE4&amp;linkId=f16f92bef02ff0c6c7c1db0a2c13613f&amp;show_border=false&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=false&amp;price_color=333333&amp;title_color=0066c0&amp;bg_color=ffffff\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-micro bylineHidden feature\">\u00a0<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h5 class=\"a-section a-spacing-micro bylineHidden feature\"><a href=\"https:\/\/martinroe.com\/blog\/index.php\/category\/life-in-general\/books\/\">Take a look at\u00a0other books I have\u00a0suggested by clicking this link<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are two books that helps you write your family history<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3969,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpscppro_dont_share_socialmedia":false,"_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"","_twitter_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type":"","_pinterest_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"","_medium_share_type":"","_threads_share_type":"","_google_business_share_type":"","_selected_social_profile":[],"_wpsp_enable_custom_social_template":false,"_wpsp_social_scheduling":{"enabled":false,"datetime":null,"platforms":[],"status":"template_only","dateOption":"today","timeOption":"now","customDays":"","customHours":"","customDate":"","customTime":"","schedulingType":"absolute"},"_wpsp_active_default_template":true},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-life-in-general"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.0 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
