The prospect of writing your family history can seem daunting; it can be difficult to know where to start and how to bring together elements of your research to form a compelling narrative. Auntie Mabel is here to help.

We provide step-by-step guidance, writing activities and case studies. We offer resources and research tips to help you capture a sense of time and place, and to put your ancestors in context. And we showcase ways in which you can creatively publish and share your family history with others.

Follow our blog articles and case studies, sign up for one of our upcoming courses, and dip into our recommended resources. However you choose to get involved, we hope to inspire and support you as you write your own family history, and preserve it as part of your legacy to share with future generations.
