Title: Excellent resource that deserves an update
Product review: If you are among the majority of genealogy buffs who have spent years collecting information, data, photos and artifacts for your family -- but haven't taken the next step -- this book is for you. There are valuable suggestions for organizing and writing the story of your family. Even something as basic as point of view is an important consideration: do you tell a third-person story of a family, or a first-person story of your search for ancestors? Documentation is important, even if you intend your story for family only. You may need to consider how best to handle "skeletons in the closet" and discrepancies (multiple versions of the same story). Sharon Carmack has done an excellent job with her clear writing, and I hope she publishes an updated edition of this book. The chapters on publishing and marketing in particular deserve a complete rewrite; there is so much to add now on e-publishing.
