This book referred too much to the author's previous book To Our Children's Children. I should have just read that book instead.
Most basic information about starting to write a family history (use paper and pen, tape recorders, organize file folders, etc.). I personally didn't gain any useful tips from this book.

For Mother's Day last year, both my mother and I received subscriptions to Storyworth.com where you get a questions every week for a year (52 questions) that are then published in a book.

Around Thanksgiving we decided the questions were becoming repetitions so I started coming up with my own questions for both of us. I have the companion book and got this and Note on the Kitchen Table from the library. This trilogy of books has been very helpful as we complete the project.
