This series of posts focuses on an A-Z theme for April in 2025. I have chosen events that occurred On This Day in April of years in the past. These events are recorded in my genealogy database.

All that text doesn't look very interesting so I used two different methods to publish some of the data.
A Google slideshow
Use the 3 dot menu to expand the view to full screen.
A Timeline tool at TimelineJS
Which of these tools might be useful for sharing some of your family history?
Hi Carmel I always make up a timeline when I’m researching a particular family line. I hadn’t thought of using Google slideshow. Will definitely be giving it a go
ReplyDeleteI like the slide show. I have a different slide show app. Maybe I can use it for my April posts. We shall see
ReplyDeleteLove these timeline ideas.
ReplyDeleteBravo, Carmel! This is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love the slide show timeline. These are great for showcasing snippetts of our ancestral research.
ReplyDeleteGood tips that I hope to try.
ReplyDeleteI'm a great fan of timelines. Those slideshow would be fantastic to run on a loop at a family get together. You've got me thinking.
