TIARA – Saving the Stories III w Thomas M Toohey (In person and via Zoom)

The Irish Ancestral Research Association is hosting Thomas Toohey as he presents Saving the Stories III.

Every month more more facts become available about our ancestors. These facts are like their skeletons. Family stories about them can add flesh to their bones and give life to their existence. In many families only one or two members remember these stories. These family members often assert that “someday” they will record the stories, but unfortunately many don’t. When they pass away the stories are lost.

My Saving the Stories III presentation offers a method for telling family stories with pictures in an animated slideshow. It begins with two examples of my family stories.

The second part of the program gives a detailed explanation of how to make a slideshow by altering and animating images. It also explains how to add text boxes, sound, and media. Many family members would prefer watching a slideshow than reading a book. An interesting slideshow could be the highlight of a family reunion.

The program ends with a slideshow of a “Coming to America” story. These slideshows are designed to be entertaining as well as informative.
