Helping families explore, capture, and preserve their stories — in any form that works. We inspire one another with creativity, resources, and encouragement through online events and conversations.

News topics that affect us in our family history projects. Includes special event coverage, like RootsTech, as well as other topics of interest to our members.

I share most of my personal family stories in a separate newsletter I maintain privately and described in Projectkin.org/private-podcasts. In this section, however, I'll share stories that I can be more public about. Enjoy.

Too often, a lack of confidence, knowledge, or resources gets in the way of a fabulous idea to capture and share your story. By working together as a community we can take advantage of the best available ideas and tools. It's not necessarily expensive either — sometimes we've got workarounds to save you money too.

Each week your Projectkin ringleader shares a short update about what's ahead for the coming week. Each session is a LIVE Video Chat viewable only to members either on a desktop or mobile device. Find your local time at Projectkin.org/chat-time.

When you start thinking about Family History STORIES as PROJECTS, all kinds of things get simpler. As “projects," your stories don’t have to take any particular form. Let the form follow the story. Start with your goal and consider any constraints, then plan your project.
