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.
