Chronicle Makers: Write the family history only you can tell

You’ve spent years uncovering your family’s history—now what?

The names, dates, and records you’ve collected hold incredible stories, but turning them into something your family will actually want to read can feel overwhelming.

That’s where Chronicle Makers comes in.

I’m Denyse Allen, and I’m on a journey to bring my own family history to life—not with dry academic reports, but with rich, emotionally compelling stories that take my family on a journey with their ancestors.

And I’m inviting you to join me on this path.

With Chronicle Makers, you’ll learn by doing—inside a supportive community of people who share your passion for preserving the past.

• Follow Denyse’s journey as she dives into the ups and downs of preserving her family’s legacy, sharing what’s worked and what she’s learned along the way.

• Enjoy practical, easy-to-use techniques that help you turn raw data into compelling, personal stories.

• Connect with a supportive community of family historians who, like you, want to create something meaningful and lasting.

Why Chronicle Makers?

Most genealogy education teaches how to write research reports—great for legal documentation, but terrible for family storytelling.

Chronicle Makers is different.

Here, we focus on writing stories that bring your ancestors to life. We believe family history should feel personal, engaging, and unforgettable—not like reading a textbook.

You don’t need to be a professional writer. You just need a love for your family’s history and a desire to share it in a way that matters.
