Burlington Genealogical Society - Burliington, Wisconsin Feb Topic

Tomorrow night at our Genealogical Society the topic is to do our own obituary ! I have sat down several times over the past week and this is alot harder than I thought it was going to be.   Some were too short and some were way to long.  Then I started to think, ok as a genealogist what do I look for when I read an obituary ?

This afternoon I remembered  that when my father's cousin's wife passed away , you could just tell that whoever wrote the obit  was into genealogy from what was included in it.  So I dug though my pack of newspaper articles and pulled hers out.  I think using hers as a guideline will help me out. 

So off i go to write about my life once again .  Wish me luck !
