SUMMARY:African American Genealogy Webinar: Writing Family History- The Narrative Inquiry Approach
DESCRIPTION:Please join us to learn from South Carolina genealogist and 
 author Dr. Walter Curry\, Jr. who will present on Writing Family History: 
 The Narrative Inquiry Approach. A narrative is a story or an account. While 
 there is no mainstream research design in family history\, narrative 
 inquiry is a research method that uses narratives as units of analysis to 
 contextualize and interpret to create meaning. Learn about how to 
 incorporate narrative inquiry to research and write your family history 
 book. \n\nWalter B. Curry\, Jr.\, Ed.D is a native of Orangeburg\, South 
 Carolina. Dr. Curry has published two award-winning books on genealogy 
 research of his South Carolina ancestors. The Thompson Family: Untold 
 Stories from the Past (1830-1960)\, published in 2018\, chronicles the 
 reflections and experiences of his relatives that shed new light on African 
 American History in Aiken County and South Carolina. His second work 
 published in 2021\, The awakening: the Seawright-Ellison family saga. Vol. 
 1\, A narrative history\, is the first volume in a narrative history about 
 the descendants of two families that share a common ancestor\, Martha 
 Kitchings Seawright Ellison. The book documents the family saga of Martha's 
 family of sharecroppers in South Carolina during the Reconstruction Era.  
 Dr. Curry received the 2019 International African American Historical and 
 Genealogy Society Book Award and has been recognized by the South Carolina 
 Legislature for his significant work in service to African American History 
 and Heritage in South Carolina.\n\nThis webinar is great for anyone 
 interested in learning more about South Carolina genealogy and how they 
 might conduct their own family history research. Join us for more webinars 
 in the African American Genealogy Series. The next program will be Sources 
 for African American Genealogical Research at the SC Department of Archives 
 & History with Steven D. Tuttle.\n\nThe South Carolina State Library
