Sharing family stories can be challenging. A genealogist or history enthusiast will likely be enthralled be all the details, but before you know it, that incredible story about your great-great-grandmother will be buried in so many that the family member you’re telling the story to ends up confused, annoyed, or worse, uninterested.
Over on my Substack I started writing a family history. I wanted to preserve it so it would not be lost or forgotten. It if the J.B.Bauer family history
I'm guilty of it, too! It's an amazing shot, and considering it was taken in 1895, all the more remarkable—the train wreck at Montparnasse Station in Paris, France on October 22nd, 1895.

Great advice - thank you.
Punchline First is a great way to start and finish! Thank you!
Thanks for checking it out, Cathleen!
As someone who can make any story too long, this is really helpful!
Thanks, Robert! I can, too, hopefully I can follow my own advice here...
I'm guilty of this, so I'll try out the suggestions. Love the photo! My dad was a railroad enthusiast and I inherited that along with the genealogy.
