Program Description

Details

Presented by the library’s Special Collections staff and members of the Ranger Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), these events are free, open to the public, and appropriate for all levels of interest and experience. All levels will learn something new!

Have you considered starting your own genealogy blog to share your stories from a family line or of a particular ancestor? Sharing your family history writing on an online platform can be both fun and easy to do! This talk will focus on the basics of creating a blog, covering all you need to know to get started. Learn how to publish your family history stories and/or research content by using the Google Blogger platform. The effort will be well worth the legacy you leave behind!

Registration is required. After registering, you will receive a Zoom link by email.
