Thanks for all you do to be so kind, curious, and creative!Coming to Kathy’s Corner This Week!It’s always fun to welcome Kathy Stone to any Projectkin event as she always takes us back to the key principle of any family history collection: Preservation. As much as we may come to love the documents, artifacts, and photographs we inherit from our ancestors, they are only ours briefly. We are their guardians. In time, we will pass them down to the next generation, perhaps with a little more order and supplemented with the stories we’ve captured to contribute. For Thursday’s episode, Kathy decided to explore terminology, a topic that came up at the conclusion of our July episode. I hope you’ll join us: In our conversation today, Kathy referenced the “8-Steps.” That’s a foundational blog post that Kathy wrote for Projectkin: If this field is new to you, that post is a great place to get started. Kathy walked through each of the eight steps in her first few episodes for Projectkin. You’ll find those beginning here: I hope you can join Kathy’s Corner this week.
