Today I taught the last in Sunday School on writing Personal and Family Histories, and talked about the different ways to accomplish it.  My primary focus was on electronic means by which to accomplish this goal.  I spoke about creating a personal or family history blog.  I also said that I will post all my handouts on this blog so that you can access those that interest you and be able to print or read from the resources I found. This is the bookmark I designed as the handout for the lesson.  Feel free to print it off for your own use.  I am in the process of posting all the other lesson handouts as well.  Enjoy!
