Family history writing.

For some people, home is where they were born and reared. For some, it’s where they live now. For others, it’s where their ancestors lived centuries ago. Pliny the Elder said that “Home is where the heart is.”  In this workshop, we will reflect on what “home” has meant to each of us at various points in our lives.
