RESEARCH AND PRESENTATION OF YOUR

HISTORICAL FAMILY STORY

EXAMPLE

Historical Research and Presentation Project

Fig 1 Extract from Pictorial Family Tree

This example of a start-to-finish project gives a good indication of what we can do.

The project involved the complete research and presentation of one family’s ancestry through the maternal line.  As well as a family keepsake, it was intended for presentation at a special family occasion (an 80th birthday celebration).

The project involved :

• Researching ancestry as far back as possible, including family-held documents, photos and memories, on-line records, local research and Record Office visits.
• Cataloguing all ancestry into a family tree database.
• Building and designing a pictorial representation of the family tree (see Fig 1).
• Researching associated trade, local and national history of the timeline.
• Documenting the family and associated history and presenting into a presentation book (see Fig 2).
• Speech, presentation and event planning for the family occasion.
