Writing The Family Narrative Workbook by Lawrence P. Gouldrup  

This book was written for the family historian who has compiled scores of pedigree charts and family group sheets, has spent years poring over forgotten manuscripts and staring into dimly lit microfilm readers, and who now wants to bring it all together into a final narrative form.

In this useful companion workbook, the author shows you how to compose a controlled and focused rendition of your family's story. Richly illustrated with examples, this book takes you step-by-step through the literary process.
