Write a Family History Book

This one certainly won’t be for everyone, but writing a family history book is arguably the best method of preserving family memories. It will require a significant amount of effort, but the results can be extremely rewarding and result in a written record of your family history that can be passed down over the years. You will need to spend some time researching your history and gathering information.

Every author meticulously crafts a family history book. To begin, consider all of the research, family stories, photos, periods, events, people, documents, and memorabilia that you might include in your family history book, and then consider the scope of your book. You can start writing your book's rough draft. You must use a good style sheet for source documentation before selecting the photos and documents that will be used to illustrate the book. A content edit improves clarity and organization for a more polished manuscript. An editor can read a rough draft for a developmental edit and suggest ways to supplement and revise the content to help shape it. Family histories are usually complex illustrated books, so they need design beyond word processing.
