I Find Dead People

Finding my family history is my main hobby. Been doing it for over 10 years and it is fun and enlightening. Helping others with genealogy is quite rewarding as well.

Use Newspaper Articles to Give Your Family History Website “Color”

I’ve seen many family history websites that have hundreds of words strung together to tell a story of a person or a family.  I’ve even had posts like that myself.

But it is BORING! No one likes to read a blog post like they read a novel.  How about a photo or two - or better yet - if the story is mostly represented by a newspaper article - then include the article.

See how these headlines get your attention?

Don’t these headlines INVITE you to read the article.  I think they do.
C’mon - give it a try.  You (and your readers) will like it!
