Thinking about writing a
family history
Here are a few things to think about… Do you want to publish your
family history on the Internet? The answer is, “Yes”. The primary reason is that everyone can see it - and different
family members can contribute. And,
for most people, a blog is the best Internet publishing plat
form because it is relatively easy to learn and it costs little or nothing. What if you are only interested in genealogy and a
family tree plus a few photos and notes? Then maybe a site like Ancestry.com will fit your needs. Ancestry has a good
family tree application plus an organized approach to genealogy research. After a free trial,
for only a few dollars, using Ancestry saves hours and hours of researching other genealogy sites. Or do you have a lot of
family history material? Biographies and associated material are the most popular elements of a
family history.
Family members may have much biographical material, including many photos and
family stories.
