The Genealogy & Family History Social Network

Writers Groups in Canadian Genealogy

There are two genealogical societies in Canada which have a writer's group. They are

The SouthEast & Winnipeg Branch of the Manitoba Genealogical Society http://www.mbgenealogy.com/index.php?page=southeast-and-winnipeg-br...They have just started their group, and they say “The focus of each meeting will be to help and support each other’s desire to write about our families”.

They say that they will be “Exploring writing techniques — how to find and develop a theme, how to add details to catch the reader’s interest, and how to tighten or expand our writing.

Everyone with a willingness to write and share is welcome! Bring a notebook and your favourite pen to write with”.

Contact Virginis Braid at vbraid@mts.net for more information.

The other society which I know has a writing group is British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa, and they are a Special Interest Group. They meet after each meeting held once a month.
