For discussion on all things related to family history and memoir research and writing. |
 BLACK ON WHITE Black letters on a white page are all that remain of the noble lives they once led. Black splotched photographs of white faces peer out at me and plead, "Please remember and tell about me." But I do not know them, only their names Black letters on a white page. There are stories all around us. As writers, we find truth and inspiration every day, and through our passion and talent, we are able to show the world something they haven't seen before. But, what about the stories in the attic? There's more to the photo than black and white, and who better than you to show the shades of gray. Be inspired by the lives of those who went before you. They long for you to tell their stories, and make them live again. You don't have to be interested in family history. Perhaps there is just one person whose story you believe needs telling. Perhaps there is one particular story you've heard or discovered that you'd like to share. Come and join us! We'd love to have you along! We hope to find people who are interested in writing and sharing their family stories - the stories of people who are no longer with us. Whether it's in short story or poetry format, we want to help YOU put that information into a historical fiction form. In this forum you can ask questions about how to find what your looking for, or share your experiences with others who have discovered this amazing gold mine of lost and found history. If you have any great prompt ideas, we'd love to hear them. What have you found in your history? Please use this forum to discuss anything related to family history, genealogy or memoirs. Feel free to share items inspired by the "Roots & Wings Contest //CLOSED"  prompts, your own personal research, any challenges you are having, questions, etc. This is a complicated journey. Many of us are just starting down the road, while others have been traveling and marking the path. If you want to share your knowledge, and help others find what they need, please stick around.We encourage discussion and welcome you to introduce yourself, speak up, answer any questions if you know the answer, and generally make yourself at home. You may also use this forum to request addition to the "Roots & Wings Group" , through which you will receive an occasional email.
