My genealogy blogger friend, Marian Wood has written a genealogy book, Planning a Future for Your Family's Past and I'm sharing the information with you. When she first mentioned this book to me, and wondered if I would write a review or post an announcement to my blog, I pretty much told her no, because the topic wasn't of interest me as I don't have many heirlooms and no living ancestors, no children or grandchildren.However, I know many people do have living ancestors and children and would like ideas and guidance as to how to take care of their genealogical materials in all shapes and form.
This is a perfect time for you to order either a hard copy or a Kindle online copy because Christmas is coming soon and the book would be a wonderful stocking gift. Naturally, it could be purchased for birthdays or for yourself. Marian's book won't break the bank (Kindle price at $2.99 and hard copy at $5.99) and I'm quite certain you will get some good information to put to use.
I am very happy to help her out by providing a little advertising, and will happily purchase my own copy.
Marian isn't new to publishing, I discovered she has written quite a number of books on marketing, as I discovered from reading her impressive bio on Amazon. She is also an active genealogy blogger and may be followed by reading: Climbing My Family Tree at (http://climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com).
Below is Marian's book announcement I copied from her blog.
