Addendum to previous post on Sharing with Your Family your family history treasures

I am attaching a copy, here, for the Notes on the Webinar, previously posted with a link.  Rough though it is, you will want some of these links.

Webinar Notes Lisa Louise Cook

Projects You can Share with Your Non-Genealogist Family

1. Your Goal: two concepts (I’m the only one that can pass along my genealogy).

a. Grandchildren are nevertoo young.. They are never too young to pass it on.

Things that matter most, we build on these ideas. They are never too early. 8 years old! Shoebox. Start looking at our kids/grandkids. Exposing them to genealogy. Its an investment.

2. Visit to Family History Center—etc. Pics on the wall. We hold this dear. Catch their interests. Stories, Sharing. Not an instant payoff. Get them interested in family history...not genealogy.

Varying degrees of interest. Skip generation?

The passer-on-ers.

Shift our focus: Talk their language. 3-D Movie glasses. Give them New glasses with which to see the information.

I am here to inspire you to inspire them.

Turning our junk into projects that will capture their interest.

Newspaper, mugs, table, etc. Tell BRIEF story. Make your home a showcase. Decooupage plates. Needlepoint. Photo editing. Do Something!

Decoupage Plate. ModPodge—make copies of photos. Clear plates. Seal it. Vehicles for telling your story. Black and White Photos.

Family History Christmas Wreath: Holidays are busy times. What really matters. Telling a story. Craft pieces of wood...buttons from old clothing can be a frame. An earring. Trinkets and buttons are tucked onto wreath. Bows made out of scraps of material. We are tying to instill interest.. Sepia colored frames. Black and white or sepia tone. Adobe photoshop. Restoring old photo. (Genealogy Gems)...little pieces of jewelry. Buttons, earrings, jewelry. Get them to buy in! Step by step instructions at Genealogy Gems. Subscribe to YouTube Channel.

Lisa Louise Cooke "Genealogy Gems"

My granddaughter, Kaylee, is getting first hand knowledge about "babysitting" her new brother.  Or should I say, she is getting experience in "lapsitting"!?

I "attended" a webinar today, a genealogy/"family history" webinar.  So excited about the message that I've decided to share my notes with you.   I take notes because as an unpaid viewer, a non-subscriber to Legacy Webinars, I don't have the option to download the "hand-out".  My notes are rough, but perhaps you would like to check out some of the links.

From time to time, I do subscribe on a monthly basis.  I never follow one of these webinars, but that I get re-excited about family history.  I always learn something!  I can't always write my notes fast enough, but perhaps you will get something out of them, anyway.  If you can't open the PDF format, let me know and I will send you a word document.

Today's webinar featured one of my favorite people in all of the genealogy community.  Lisa Louise Cooke!
