SUMMARY:Writer’s Group
DESCRIPTION:For the spring sessions\, January 19 to June 15\, the writing/editing group will move into some more complex strategies to consider when editing our work. \nThese will include character development\, pace and momentum\, plot and structure\, and suspense and tension. We will also review showing and telling and have a look at transitions\, both between paragraphs and chapters. \nIn session #1\, we will decide as a group\, which strategies we want to spend more or less time working on\, and if there are others in which you would be interested…and I hope we will discuss how these editing skills are all applicable to writing your family history.

SUMMARY:NFHS General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Bronwyn Frazer of Nanaimo\, BC \nThe first step in the Genealogical Proof Standard is a thorough and reasonably exhaustive search for sources.  But what does this mean?  How much is exhaustive or reasonable?  Join Bronwyn as she traces her research journey uncovering how her Stone family turned into Balls and back into Stone again over the course of three generations and across two continents.  You can be the judge if it has been exhaustive and thorough enough.  Bronwyn Frazer P.L.C.G.S holds a certificate in professional genealogy from the National Institute of Genealogy and has been interested in family history “all her life”.  She currently teaches “Genealogy 101” at Elder College\, guides clients on their own genealogy research\, and serves on the board of our very own Nanaimo Family. \n
