Writing a blog allows me to include the stories of the people I research, personally or with the client's permission. I love to write and also write for various publications. One of my best classes working towards my BGS degree in Family History, was the writing class by William G. Hartley, Writing Family Histories. We had to write and edit several times on our chosen story. This same class is offered for free through BYU _http://is.byu.edu/site/courses/free.cfm_ (http://is.byu.edu/site/courses/free.cfm) , as well as a couple of other genealogy classes. Susan, Oregon
