If you're planning to create a family history book, then you should really
consider using a genealogy software program to help you put it together.
They can help with the time-consuming jobs, such as numbering
the entries and creating an index to every surname. The best programs also
make it easy to spice up your book with photos, graphics, captions and a
wide variety of beautiful charts and trees. |
