June Chronicles Challenge - Day #6
Use #10DaysofChronicles each time you publish to social.
Welcome to Day 6 of Chronicles Challenge!
By this point in the challenge you are getting reactions from family. They may even be tempting you do more research! Resist until the 11th and focus on writing your 10 chronicles for your generation.
We will celebrate what we accomplished and share what we learned in our Celebration Call on June 11th. RSVP here.
Today's Prompt
Reflect on a significant decision made by an ancestor
Sometimes as genealogists we can see where an ancestor made a decision that changed the course of his or her life.
Could be marriage or divorce, relocation, change of employer, choice of school, or something else. Pick one and write about the ripple forward in time that choice caused.
Steps to Craft your Chronicle
Step 1: Read the prompt and pull out your notes and records on one ancestral family.
Step 2: Select an image (document, photo, map, postcard, artwork, or drawing) and write 50-150 words capturing that moment in time.
Step 3: Ta-da you have a Chronicle! Publish your Chronicle on your social media or your blog to share with family.
P.S. Today's prompt is to inspire you. If it doesn't work for you, write about anything on your ancestors.
