From Bookshelf to Coffee Table

Also part of “Let’s Read Auckland”
The problem with a traditional family history book is that they take a long time to write and then let’s face it they get looked at when they are first received and then put on a bookshelf.

We’re going to look at the steps to put together a captivating family history.
• Identify your theme
• Keep it short – think browse, not read
• Gather your resources
• Learn how to use your tools
• Publish and share
It's so much better to have the coffee table version of your family history, that is picked up and looked at often.
