How can you Microblog your Family History on Instagram?
There are several ways you can share your Family History & Genealogy on Instagram. The easiest is to simply upload a family photo and share your ancestor’s story. You can share pictures of family member’s or family heirlooms. Don’t forget to use hashtags so others can find you! (That is a topic for the next post in this Blog Series).
