5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book I've read on this topic, 17 April 2009

June Weaver "Calderbooks" (Lancashire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Writing and Publishing Your Family History (Genealogy) (Hardcover)

After wading through many books from the Library, I came across this one at a Coffee Morning! The stallholder persuaded me to buy it even though I had nearly finished writing my Family Hisory. Reluctantly I forked out �1 (I'd beaten her down from �2)and took it home. It really focused me and when I read, 'You cannot possibly include everything,' that enabled me to draw things to a conclusion - after 30 years of writing! There is so much helpful advice in there, better than I've found anywhere else, I think. Now that my book is being published, there is more advice on how to distribute and sell your book. It's all there. On the Anniversary of the said Coffee Morning, I returned and gave the same stallholder another �1, telling her how useful the book had been. The best �2 I've every spent!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best in its field, 4 Feb 2007

Victorian Lady "G" (Essex , United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Writing Up Your Family History: A Do-it-yourself Guide (Genealogy) (Paperback)

This book is a real eye opener. It gave me lots to think about in the first few pages. It takes you through writing your family history from early research to publication. Johns voice clearly comes through and I felt as if I was having a personal one to one with him.
Get this book and no other!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best part of this book was, in fact, the middle.
John Titford wrote an excellent chapter on how to resurrect your ghost family. But did not write a chapter on how to get rid of them again. Read more

I approached this book warily as I hadn't had the chance to 'flick through' as one does in a shop. However, I needn't have worried as it was well written and informative. Read more

This is a competent piece of work. While it contains nothing startingly innovative, it does act as an aide memoire when you are preparing to write up your family history.
