Introducing the Family Storytelling Workshop by Keepsake Family History ✨

Have you always wanted to capture your ancestors’ life stories, but don’t know where to begin? You’ve got the memories, photos and records – but they’re collecting dust in boxes or hard drives.

Join founders Sarah & Sam for a hands-on workshop testing an early version of Keepsake Family History – an app that turns family history research into shareable ancestor profiles (and, eventually, a beautiful book of ancestor biographies).

📅 Saturday 28 March
🕚 12.30pm - 3.30pm
📍 The Old Town Hall, Trowbridge

Knowing, recording, preserving, and sharing our family histories can provide countless benefits to individuals, families, and entire societies. Family history is more than pedigree charts, censuses, and birthdates—it can be a powerful antidote against adverse life experiences that we face today, giving us a stronger understanding of who we are and motivating us to deepen our roots for generations to come ⤵️
