I was delighted to capture Ancestory’s Lisa Maguire for a brief conversation about Thursday’s inspiring program about Micro History. Professional history meets family history in this week’s program.
Microhistory looks at the small to explain the big. Very productive viewpoint for generating story ideas! Also, thanks for the great plug, Barbara and Lisa. You two are the best!
I love this!! Such a great discussion - hope to be back in time to join the live Zoom on Thursday (if not, I will be def reviewing the recording!!!).
I fell into writing micro history around family - and braiding it with the macro - and my own personal experiences as well, to help create context. So many great subjects to explore. As Lisa said it can be about anything!
Registered, have to say, unsure if I will be awake enough to attend, it'll be 0100hrs here in Spain...that said, I am an insomniac, so ya never know lol. All the best, Dominus
Oh, what a terrific reference. I vaguely remembered it too, but a few quick clicks took me to the Butler Professional Ferrier’s school which (aptly) referenced the full proverb quoted by Benjamin Franklin in an almanac in 1758… 🥹

Oh dear, sleep is much more important. We’ll record it and send it to you. 🥰
That would be awesome! Thank you
I hope you’ll join me NEXT week at the same time for our preview of the launch of the Projectkin Speakers’ Corner with my guests Jennifer Jones and Anne Young. Learn more at https://tockify.com/eventscalendar/detail/101/1754859600000
to quote akwordly) a famous poem "....for want of a shoe a kingdom was lost
Oh, what a terrific reference. I vaguely remembered it too, but a few quick clicks took me to the Butler Professional Ferrier’s school which (aptly) referenced the full proverb quoted by Benjamin Franklin in an almanac in 1758… 🥹
“For the want of a nail the shoe was lost,
For the want of a shoe the horse was lost,
For the want of a horse the rider was lost,
For the want of a rider the battle was lost,
For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe-nail.”
That’s just spot on… thank you, Janine!
