RESEARCHING & WRITING YOUR
FAMILY HISTORY & MEMOIRS (2004/2014)

ISBN: 978-1-940388-15-1

This book is designed to guide you through the process of thoroughly researching your ancestry by expanding and refining your Internet searches, and by obtaining a wide variety of historical documents and then learning how to interpret them, despite discrepancies in dates and the alternative spellings of addresses and names of people and places. It also teaches you how to maintain your genealogical records in an appropriate software program; obtain and archive family photos; and get to the true stories behind the simple raw data found in census records, vital statistics forms, and other official documents. And once you have all those great family stories to tell, you'll learn how to assemble your family history or memoirs and publish them in a format specific to your needs. This handy book also includes kinship terminology, a list of recommended reading, and a detailed questionnaire to help you and your family members through the process of remembering the past.
