On Saturday morning, Tammy Hepps, the creator of the family storytelling website Treelines.com and winner of RootsTech 2013’s Developer Challenge, will speak about “Tools to Help You Share Family Stories.” With more than twenty years of experience in genealogy and fourteen working in web technology in New York City, she is uniquely suited to bring her insight on today’s best story-related websites and apps to an audience sharing her genealogical bent.
Her talk will begin with an assessment of what good family storytelling entails, narrowing in on the qualities engagingfamily stories possess. Through the remainder of her talk, she’ll introduce tools that will help you to share audio-, video-, and text-based stories and assess each on the basis of its ability to create real engagement with your relatives and friends. In her choice of tools, she has taken special care to include relevant tools less well-known to a genealogy audience, as well as to highlight the unique features of better-known tools.
Recognizing that many genealogists may be reluctant to store their data in one more place in one more format, she’ll conclude by offering advice about how to incorporate these tools and their hi-tech output into an overall strategy of organizing one’s digital genealogy work. Useful advice for anyone wanting to dabble in the latest-and-greatest technology!
