Dale Rutherford is a self-published author with a personal reading interest in historical fiction, light romance, mysteries and occasional suspense. (Ironically these are often found evident in family history research – the challenge being to sort truth from fiction.) Dale has written a series of novels on the Muskoka Region of Ontario in addition to short stories. She is currently working on a historical fiction trilogy based on the Abolitionist movement in upstate New York.

Every family has stories begging to be told. As the keeper of your family records, are you wondering about the best way to record these stories? In our November meeting we’ll explore some ways personal and family stories can be chronicled through the written word, video or audio recordings, a collection of photographs, recipes, war medals or combinations of these. If you’re looking to preserve these stories for future generations, gain a deeper understanding of your ancestors’ life journey, or tell your own story, you’ll want to attend.
