Need a kick start writing your family stories?

Ready to write your own personal history?

Can’t wait to share juicy tidbits you’ve discovered about ancestors?

Eager to post stories and discoveries for your family to read?

Needing to get all the research you’ve conducted in a readable/consumable format?

Wanting to be part of a community working on writing/sharing/saving family stories, too?

Join me for #NaGenWriMo starting November 1st. What does NaGenWriMo stand for? National Genealogy Writing Month. Okay, so we aren’t officially national …. YET! But that won’t stop us from making it a thing!

What It Is:

#NaGenWriMo is a collaborative, community effort to write down, save, and share family stories and research.

You Are Invited To:

1. Write every day! Whether it is a little or A LOT!

2. Save your work. Post it to a blog if you have one. If it’s polished and ready – upload it to Family Search! Print it out and put it in a binder. Whatever your saving method – make sure it is accessible and readable for future generations!

3. Share! Let’s light up social media with genealogy and family history. My family doesn’t always love reading big ole’ binders and books (like I do – ha!), but put it in an Instagram or Facebook post and they are hooked! Use #NaGenWriMo so we can follow each other. Tag @KeepMovingForwardWithMe on Instagram/Facebook or @KeepMovingTara on Twitter if you would like me to reshare!

4. Link up. I’m all about accountability! I will have link-up posts on this blog (including this post!) for us to share our blog posts. Please link up new stories/content that you are currently working on.

Join Us

Let’s do this! There are family stories waiting to be told! Who will you write about? Is there a one-place study you’ve been itching to do? Does your one-name study need a little more work? Do you just want to start sharing your own stories from your childhood? #NaGenWriMo is perfect for all of these scenarios! Each Sunday I will post a new link up! Feel free to add multiple links. These can be blog posts, social media posts, etc. The important thing is to get writing!
