Producing A Quality Family History by Patricia Law Hatcher  

The goal of every family historian is to discover the history of his or her family. An equally important goal should be to preserve that history in a permanent, accurate record - a family history. This book is a guide to creating and publishing your own family history - one that will be appreciated and enjoyed by your own family and by other researchers.

A wide range of considerations is involved in producing a family history. From the obvious - such as organizing the work, writing the narrative, and incorporating photographs and other illustrations - to the less obvious - such as documenting your research thoroughly and accurately, establishing a visually appealing design, and placing your ancestors in context - this guide covers them all.

This book will guide you through the process, from the raw data of your research to the printing of your finished book.
