John Chapman documents

“Find Tell Share” is a podcast co-hosted in Sheffield by Chris Sissons, Market Together and Jemma Rosenthal, Creative Hearts.  It’s the storyteller’s podcast, featuring everything storytelling, especially if you use stories to promote your business or charity (and you should!).  We produce an edition once a month with a guest, watch out for it.

This month we discuss genealogy, family history through letters and filling gaps in stories where you don’t have all the facts.

June’s Guest: John Chapman, Past Lives Ancestry

John Chapman, after twenty years researching the family histories of his own and friends, was persuaded to become a professional genealogist. Over the past six years, he’s undertaken over thirty full research projects. As well as helping people find their families through DNA research, he also gives talks and runs workshops on family and local history. He’s currently writing a book based around real people involved in the nail-making trade in the 17th century, exporting from South Yorkshire to the American colonies.

A Community Development Worker for 30 years, Chris is consequently sceptical about almost everything. He’s always loved stories and these days strides the streets of Sheffield always on the lookout for a new story. 

I’m a marketing coach, using stories to open up business development in surprising ways.  I underline the distinction between real and paid work.  Many people are unhappy because they cannot find time for their real work – as we unravel the lockdown, we’re all challenged to step up and offer the world our own unique insights.  They won’t always work but how else do we find the ones that do?

I run Telling Stories: Making Business, storytelling for business owners, on second and fourth Thursdays (usually).  It’s an opportunity to hear a business owner’s story and to offer feedback.  We improve our own storytelling when we help others.  Find the TSMB programme here.  This page is regularly updated.  Click on links in right hand column to register for your Zoom link.
