<div class="MsoNormal">
This is part three of a class that I taught about How to Get

your book. Three common ways to write it are an ancestral family history, a
descendant family history or a history about one person. Hope this is helpful.<o:p></o:p></div>

I love being with family at Christmas time and on other
holidays. We have many family gatherings with both sides of the family. I
really enjoy sharing family stories and reminiscing during these gatherings. I
would suggest that you bring a digital recorder and turn it on when these
stories are being told so they can be preserved and shared.<o:p></o:p></div>

To keep the book publishing process manageable and not overwhelming, I suggest that you get help with the parts that you don't know how to do. In this audio file, I talk to the Taylors about this very thing. They have some very good advice. Have a listen!</div>
