 a must have to perserve your family's history January 4, 1999
10 out of 17 found this review helpful
This book is great, you learn so much about your family, so much more than if you just looked at a family tree. This lets you know what you mom & dad did on their first date. The only problem is getting your family to fill it out.
 A GREAT BOOK TO GUIDE YOU IN WRITING YOUR FAMILY HISTORY November 26, 2003
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I tell everyone I see, that is interested in preserving their family history to BUY this book. I like structure and a helping hand. To me, this is the greatest book to help a person, tell their story. I am still working my way through Bob Greene's book and typing in the answers in my computer. I call my results a "Work in Progress." I wish I would have had this guide when some of my relatives were still alive. Once again, this book is great guide, to fill out "your story" and the story of your relatives. I have give my "Work in Progress", to my two daughters, and they both cried. I was surprised by their response. Their response encourages me to continue "My Work in Progress."

I have had this book for years. I use it whenever we visit a relative that is getting up in years. I wish I had it before I lost some relatives. I pick out a chapter and write down the questions I want to ask. Then video tape with the questions as my guideline. Everyone should have this on their bookshelf and remember to use it. A friend wants to borrow mine, I am going to buy her a copy.
The BEST book for geneologists: beginners and pro's. October 26, 1997
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I received a copy of this book by default. You see, it was supposed to be my Father's birthday present from his sister. Unfortunately, my father died 6 months before he was to get it. Upon receipt of it, I looked through, but didn't seem too interested at the time. After I had plenty of time to look it over, it started me on a journey that I never thought that I would be on. Now that I can say , "I am a Geneologist", I am glad that my Aunt gave it to me. It has given me an unexpected tie to my Father that I wouldn't have had. I could only say Thank-You to Bob Greene and his Sister for writing such a book. For our "current" histories will not be lost as those of our past, because I know which questions to ask. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart.
