I'll show you how our Projectkin community is here to help you in your family history storytelling journey. This little tour checks all the boxes — and it's free! Explore our articles, events, and conversations, then become a member and get access to resources, recordings, and project recipes!
Wonderful, Liz, you've come to the right place. I suggest you also explore MissionGenealogy.org, where many of us as family historians and genealogists gather to share notes specifically on getting the most out of Substack. It's a great way to find fellow-travelers in the family history storytelling area. Reach out any time, and join us for our programs. We have a great one tomorrow with genealogist Emma Cox talking about her own family history. Learn more at Projectkin.org/events.
Yes it is! I suggest you explore Projectkin.org/members-corner, there’s also a collection of other writers at missiongenealogy.org it’s a collaboration I’m part of. From there, you’ll find missiongenealogy.org/community where members have been sharing their recommendations. We’ll get you situated. 😎 it’s always a little hard at first.

This is great. I love that you are building a community of family historians hooked on stories - but also that the stories are about the past and the present. I hope your community settles well into the lovely Substack world. I have found it to be very supportive, and full of resources.
I don't know why I didn't see your comment earlier, Kate. 🤦♀️ Apologies, and thank you for your continued support. It turns out we entered this lovely Substack world at a turbulent time. We're still finding our way, focused on our mission.
As you'll have seen in my recent series of posts about the "Levels of Substack" I wanted to create a pathway for folks to understand what we're up to since most of our members are new to Substack and honestly I don't expect to start their own publications any time soon. There's little out there about engaging on Substack as an ordinary participant, or "writer." It's confusing.
To encourage more family historians, genealogists, and history buffs to subscribe to Substack (^ despite the turbulence) I put together a whole section about Substack and Family History and tucked that recording in there. We'll see what happens. It's all free, you're welcome to share: https://projectkin.substack.com/s/substack-family-history
I don't think there is ever a 'prefect' time. You are doing a great job informing everyone about Substack. I agree, that if Substack is to broaden its customer base, there have to be more readers.
I've used genealogy to help with researching book ideas. Look forward to following your community to learn more, and perhaps share some of my own experience.

Thanks for the encouragement. We'll keep at it. Your work here has been an inspiration. Truly.

Oh, please do, Robin.
Very soon I will begin posting stories about how I wrote my first memoir Mennonite Daughter, a family history from my perspective.
Wonderful! I’m looking forward to it!
Thank you! Look for 20 revealing posts.
Will do!
