Bringing Naperville History to Life

Public Author Event

Saturday, January 14
10:00a - 12:00p

Nichols Library Genealogy Group

I'll be at the Nichols Library here in Naperville to talk about how I gathered up all the dry facts of Joseph Naper's journey from Ashtabula, Ohio to the banks of the DuPage River and turned them into my book "Ruth by Lake and Prairie."

This program is for the genealogy groups in Naperville, but it is open to the public. Lots of folks are interested in taking what they've learned from their genealogy research and creating a narrative out of it to share with family and even with readers outside of family. 

If you're tinkering with writing a story about your family's history, I'll be sharing some writing and publishing tips that will help with your project. Hope to see you there!
