Genealogical+History

= Writing Genealogical History =

The OLLI Interest Group on Writing Genealogical History is for members who are writing stories or historical narratives about ancestors. Rather than being a group to do genealogical research, it is one in which we will not only record ancestors' stories but contextualize them with historical information.

Once a month each member will distribute a reading of three to four pages and read it for up to fifteen minutes. Following each reading, other members will comment for a total of up to five minutes per paper on what they see as the strengths of the work and how it might be further improved.

We will meet the first and third Wednesday of each month from 3 to 4:45, alternating between Cynthia's and Pam's West Side Santa Cruz homes. The group will be limited to six members.

Leaders: Pamela Roby, 247-0675, roby@ucsc.edu; Cynthia Solem, 239-3033, csolem@pacbell.net
