#9: How Adding Story to Your Introduction Can Make Your Research More Compelling

After talking with dozens of genealogists at the New England Genealogy Consortium 2023 in May about their passion projects and juicy family stories, I heard the same question over and over:

How can I add more “story” to help my research be more compelling?
After all of these conversations I created a talk specifically for Genealogy Associations and Clubs, and would like to share one of the five tips I offer to the participants - one that I believe can be used in a variety of scenarios.Creating an introduction in narrative form giving further background to the information you have collected in your research.

This introduction can be used for several purposes:

• Setting the stage
• Sharing Your Motivation
• Share Your Process
• Introduce the “characters”

For more specific notes on each of these you can head on over to the blog post on this topic.
