Linda Weaver Clarke and the Family Legacy Workshops

When I first began corresponding with Linda Weaver Clarke, I had no idea how supportive she would become of my writing. While we've never had the opportunity to meet in person, through emails we've gotten to know each other so well that I feel like she lives right down the street.

In addition to her writing, much of which is based upon tidbits of family history, through her Family Legacy workshops, Linda teaches others how to put their family history into interesting stories.

As a lover of history, I've always been fascinated by this aspect of Linda's career. Here is a list of this month's Family Legacy Workshops:
