SUMMARY:Introduction to Ancestral Narratives for All Ages
DESCRIPTION:Ancestral narratives are a way of sharing family’s stories with future generations. Genealogists\, no matter their age or experience\, will enjoy learning about this useful way of preserving history.\nThis year’s One Maryland\, One Book focuses on the theme of What We Collect/What We Tell. The Maryland State Library and Maryland Humanities selected “Kin: Rooted in Hope” written by Carole Boston Weatherford with art by Jeffery Boston Weatherford. Their book\, written for upper elementary schoolers and up\, focuses on the Weatherford’s own ancestors who were among the founders of Maryland and gives these individuals voice through enslavement\, the Civil War\, and Reconstruction. \nIn this program\, we’ll discuss what ancestral narratives are and the basic steps for recording your own. They can be useful for anything from school assignments to heavy genealogy work. As exemplified by this year’s book\, they are a great way to pass on the stories of our past in a way that captivates readers.  \nFind your own copy of Kin in our catalog or on our digital apps\, Libby and the Palace Project.
