I had some genealogy fun on 12 June presenting my "Ancestor Biography Creation" Process in a Zoom meeting hosted on Substack by Barbara at Projectkin on her publication.
Barbara Tien is a wonderful host, and she has summarized the presentation and provided the syllabus for the talk in her Substack post titled Special » Ancestor Bios: The “ABC” Process with Randy Seaver.
It is also on the Projectkin YouTube channel (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp8ml7l-k_4):
Substack has become a writer's haven over the years providing a relatively simple blog layout for writers to post their work, for free or for paid subscribers.
Along with many other genealogists and family historians, I have started using Substack to share my family stories (both with and without artificial intelligence assistance). My Substack publication is https://substack.com/@geneaholic.
Most of my Substack posts are from my posts here on Genea-Musings. I am not re-posting everything from Genea-Musings as a "Substack Post"because every Post is sent to every subscriber after it is written. I'm trying to limit myself to "stories" and one Post a day so as to not inundate my subscribers email boxes with non-story articles. Posts on Substack can embed audio clips and video clip. A "Substack Note" can be used to highlight news, comment on Posts, etc. Readers can chat with writers in the Chat section.
There is a different set of genealogists, family historians, and writers on Substack who I am becoming familiar with, and they with me. It's been fun! The "Genealogy/Family History Writer World" is a lot bigger than Blogger, or Wordpress, or other social media.
Thank you to Barbara Tien at Projectkin for encouraging me to do this presentation and for hosting it. I haven't done many presentations recently, so I was a bit rusty, but I think it said what I wanted to pass along to the viewers.
