Planning to attend the Discover Your Roots Event in March 2024?
Enter your story for a chance to win a valuable door prize, collectable only if in attendance. Never Remove the Cornerstone and J. B. Randall, Inc., in connection with Stories From the Journey, are selecting four stories from attendants at the March 9th 2024 event, participating in the "You and Two," segment at the event.
Your story should be based on an individual identified in your pedigree chart (family tree), which begins with you, includes your parents, and your maternal and paternal grandparents. This is an example of a You and Two pedigree chart:
Tell your story in a compelling way...
Sharon Leslie Morgan, co-author of Gather at the Table with Thomas Norman DeWolf writes:
"...I have spent a
lifetime looking for my ancestral connections. These records are sacred to me.
They are the only link I will ever have...Every find in African American
research is a precious miracle."
In this story, B. B. Staggers (maternal grandfather of the participating 'storyteller'), presents a photograph of his father and a newspaper article of his grandmother as the central characters.
We hope to have Mr. Young, a descendant of George and Millie, present their remarkable story, in person on March 9th 2024 at the Discover Your Roots Free Family Research Seminar.
Between now and Saturday, February 24th we will be reviewing stories submitted by attendees, for presentation at the March 9th Discover Your Roots Free Family Research Seminar, in Sharpsburg, Georgia. Four qualifying (You must be present to qualify for prize and to present your story) entries will be selected for presentation on the day of the event.
Submissions should be no more than 2,000 words, in text or pdf format and should include visual support, along with your "You and Two," pedigree chart (photos, dated notes, news articles, artwork, etc.) to:
