Writing and Publishing Your Family History
Saturday, Nov 23
10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Cloverdale Recreation Centre (6188 - 176 Street, Surrey)
Working with your own materials, learn how to develop the skills necessary for writing non-fiction from a family history point of view. Discover how to move from gathering information to creating a publishable product. Learn how to make your story more engaging than a list of when people were born and died, and discover options beyond a book. Presented by Brenda L. Smith and Andrea Lister.
Program cost: $15. Pre-registration required. Includes light lunch/refreshments.
DNA for Family History
Friday, November 22
2:00-3:00pm
Newton Seniors’ Centre (13775 - 70 Avenue, Surrey)
Join us for a presentation on DNA for family history research, also known as genetic genealogy. What is it? How does it work? What are the differences between different types of DNA tests? What can they do for family history researchers, and what can’t they do?The discussion will include what to do with test results, the terminology used in results, and privacy issues. No registration required. Presented by Surrey Libraries.
