Writing Your Family History by Gill Blanchard Pdf

“Inspirational and very useful . . . quite literally packed with valuable tips and exercises and is almost a mini-course in writing your family history.”—Bedfordshire Family History Society Gill Blanchard’s practical step-by-step guide to writing a family history is designed for anyone who wants to bring their ancestors’ stories to life. She looks at ways of overcoming the particular problems family historians face when writing a family history—how to deal with gaps in knowledge, how to describe generations of people who did the same jobs or lived in the same area, how to cover the numerous births, marriages and deaths that occur, and when to stop researching and start writing. Her book provides examples to help readers find their own writing style, deal with family stories, missing pieces of information and anomalies. It also offers advice on key aspects of composition, such as adding local and social history context and using secondary material. The focus throughout is on how to develop a story from beginning to end. Exercises are a key feature of the text. There is guidance on the various formats a family history can take and how to choose the appropriate one, with examples of format and layout. Production and publishing are also covered—books, booklets, newsletters, websites, blogs and ebooks. “If you’re toying with the idea of writing a family history-themed book, whether it be for general publication or simply for family members, read this first and then take the plunge. Who knows, it could be a bestseller!”—Family Tree Magazine

How to Record Your Family History by Ronald D. Ross Pdf

This book is about how to preserve the history of people alive today. It is not designed to help you create a genealogical chart-there are other excellent resources for that. This book is for the person who wants to gather family stories as told by family members who are still living. This book will help you capture on audio or video the actual voices, faces and places of your living relatives. It will help you keep alive the timber of their voice, the smile of their face, the tilt of their head, their gestures, their mode of dress and other things relating to their real life stories, all as told by those who know them best. There is an urgency that accompanies this book: The stories of your relatives who are alive today will be around only as long as they are alive. Before you invest one dollar or one hour in genealogical research, first gather the stories of your living, but aging, relatives. Don't worry about genealogical information now, because the amount of genealogical data will grow exponentially over the ensuing decades. The more that information is digitized, the easier it will be to assemble it. In short, genealogical research can wait. Creating live recordings of the precious memories of living people cannot.
