The journey into your genealogy tree can be exciting at first. But do know that, like any other journey it will not be easy. The key is determination and persistence. START WRITING YOUR GENEALOGY BOOK Your genetic make-up, whether physical or abstract, is like permanent ink that distinguishes you from anybody. Indeed your uniqueness is accepted as a fact, except that there are similarities that associate you with your family and close relatives. No wonder, clans cling to each other as solid group, and without noticing that good value, they create the formation of their genealogy. Who cares about the past? One can live happily today. After all, the future is still in the making, that if one forgets sentimentality, it could happen, except that some point in one’s lifetime, the question of “where do I come from” is something inescapable. Sixty percent (60%) of American people are interested in their genealogy. It happens that you may be one of them, not just an ordinary curious fellow. You could have come from significant ancestry, wanting to write books, specifically on genealogy. What is fascinating about doing your own documented bible is the personal value and filial affections, which can be given thorough depth. It is a worthwhile gift for the next lineage of your generation. The crucial matters involved in starting out and organizing you ideas, picking up from pointless boundaries, will be based on public documents and actual conversations of old relatives. It will also involve researching histories and traces of your ancestries through libraries. Genealogy books contain stories. It is proper to design it this way than drown the readers (more likely relatives) with chronological dates and numeric data. No matter how complex your genealogy book gets, it is important to start with a concept and definite goal for doing it. If you want secondary whims for financial gain, popularity, and heroism, there is nothing wrong in planning to include it. Focus first on your initial goal so that when the going gets tough, you are sticking to your major mission. After you have determined your intentions, write a premise of your concept. A premise is a two-paragraph description of your material’s major problem (conflict) and resolution. Writing this may take you several weeks, after you have brainstormed with your closest relatives or after you have had inspirational reunion with the remotely located clans of your distant relatives. Remember that your genealogy book concerns them the most and that it is your initiative to establish team work with them. Where do you go from there? Doing your genealogy books sound like selecting the sands on a vast shore. Where will the focus be? Research is the main ingredient in drafting your book. Get the pertinent documents from public agencies/government institutions, diaries, photos, clippings, decrees, and other listings. This could be organized in several ways and may be added to spice up the story with charts and calendars of factual events. Adding of footnotes, though mostly taken for granted by some readers, are surprisingly essential at times. But the most important element of your genealogy book is providing index. With the aid of computer, this is easier to manage. You don’t need to be always on foot all the time. Use the computer to gather facts to lessen the cost and to save energy in traveling. Establish a good team with relatives of the same interest who will conduct other tasks will establish good bonding and efficient output. Thinking about doing genealogy books is indeed an act of good will. This is not wasting away time, but it is a valuable reference that makes historically defined families. I was talking genealogy tree with my 4 year old daughter and she said, "what if someone jumped from behind the tree and scare you".
