Meet the Host
This 6-week journey led by Lynn Palermo, a family historian and passionate family history writer, will inspire you to get started on writing a memoir and Legacy Journal to pass on to younger generations. For the past 5 years, Lynn has been coaching family historians in writing family history narratives.
My Family Story is a joint project written by The Armchair Genealogist, and sponsored by Gardens of Gethsemani and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver. The program is offered as part of the Archdiocesan Priorities and Goals to strengthen marriages and families. It is also the hope to encourage older family members to engage in meaningful conversations on topics of passing on Christian values and end-of-life preparation.
