 Publishing Your Family History: Stressless Ancestor Story/LifeStory Books Publishing Your Family History: Stressless LifeStory BooksAs mentioned in Publishing Your Family History: Stress-Free Timeline Books, you don't have to be a writer to publish your family history! Take the stress out of the daunting task of sharing all of your hard work, and publish your family history the easy way! One of the easiest ways to publish your family history, if you’re not much of a writer, is with a pregenerated ancestor story, which can also include a timeline! Print out your family history stories using ancestor profiles with facts and tidbits of info! Pregenerated Ancestor profile stories are a fantastic and easy option to share all your hard work with your family or the public! They are also an easy to view and absorb option, which makes them a great way to get others involved! I usually use a family tree/genealogy program, such as Family Tree Maker, to print out various reports, trees, timelines, stories, etc., but if you don't have a genealogy program, Ancestry has their LifeStory printouts! Check out what you can do with an Ancestry LifeStory, below! Ancestry LifeStory/Ancestor Profile Printout Example:*Tips:

Yes, not everyone is a writer, and those that aren't seem to steer away from ever writing up their family history. This way ANYONE can share their family history. :)

I like that you included all of the images of what a complete story would look like. It gives someone a good idea of how they can create a book using Ancestry Life Stories. Sharing your genealogy work can be overwhelming and this is a great solution on how you can print it and share it with others. 6/30/2023 01:36:56 pm
Thank you. That's exactly what I was going for. ;) Yes, many get overwhelmed trying to figure out how they can share their work, especially the non-writers. This is just one alternative, of many, of an easy way for ANYONE to share their family history. :) Comments are closed.
