Create and share your own Who Do You Think You Are? Story

The following is from D.C. Thomson Family History.

As the latest season of Who Do You Think You Are? draws to a close, I wanted to let you know (if you hadn’t already heard) that now you can become the star of your own family history journey. After all, why should the celebs have all the fun?!

The Who Do You Think You Are? Story website allows you to create your own personalised Who Do You Think You Are? story quickly, easily and for free, to share with friends and family. All you need to do is simply add in the details you know about your own immediate family, and Who Do You Think You Are? Story will create a unique visual experience. Not only will it feature key events in your family's history, but it will also pull in important contemporary issues which would have had an impact on their lives.
Over 12,000 stories have been created already, each one a unique and touching portrait to be saved for posterity or shared with loved ones. From tales of lion-taming ancestors, to families reunited after generations apart, every Who Do You Think You Are? Story reveals a unique adventure. What will your story look like?

Drawing information from Findmypast's extensive archive of historical records, British newspaper cuttings, exclusive images, war records and much more,Who Do You Think You Are? Story brings history to life. The site has been designed to cater for those who have done little or no family history research as well as those who have already started their own research.

Follow Minnie’s footsteps, see some examples and create your family story at www.whodoyouthinkyouarestory.com. If you have any questions, or want to know more about the project, just let me know.
