May Chronicles Challenge - Day #8
Use #10DaysofChronicles each time you publish to social
Last few days of the 10 Days of Chronicles Challenge!
Let’s finish the remaining days so we have 10 chronicles on an ancestral family - enough to write a wonderful narrative of them.
We have a community to support you during the challenge. Join here and introduce yourself.
Today's Prompt
Trace the evolution of a family business
Describe the start of business in your family and which ancestors were involved. If it ended, describe that too.
Consider using Sanborn maps, photos, newspaper ads, or city directories for an image.
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.
