How to Write a Family History Book: It's Simpler Than You Think


Classes - Adult / Special Interest -
Adult Classes Winter/Spring 2024

Maybe it has always been a secret dream of yours to create a book out of your research, but you have felt too overwhelmed to get started.

I will help you break this process down into simple, manageable steps. We will talk about the research process, what to include, how to turn facts into stories, how to organize your book, how to get it printed, and finally how to share it. You can choose any software for this project, but I will show you how Family Tree Maker and Family Book Creator can make things faster and easier than you might think.

Sign up now to learn how achievable a family history book really is, and the important role it plays in preserving your research. What happens to your tree if your computer crashes tomorrow, or Ancestry.com goes down? Don’t leave anything to chance. You and your descendants deserve the chance to sit on the couch and page through the story of your family, for years to come.

Rebecca has been researching her ancestry for more than 20 years, and recently used that information to obtain her dual citizenship in Luxembourg. Last year she published her first family history book and is working on the second. She created www.ozaukeefamilies.com, a website to publicly share her research and record cultural context for her Wisconsin heritage. Along with photography, she also provides hourly genealogy consulting as part of her business “Life Remembered”.
