In Episode 1 we considered how to choose the story to tell; who it is about, its scope and why it is important to tell.
Our families have roots that stretch back in time to other places and other dimensions – the past lives of our ancestors have had their impact on us. Family History is made up of the myriad of stories of individuals in our family tree and it is from these stories that we get a true sense of ‘who we think we are’.
In Episode 2 we consider the essential ingredients for your story!
