Writing up your family history, A do it yourself guide by John Titford
Writing Up Your Family History: A Do-it-yourself Guide by John Titford is a practical and encouraging handbook for anyone looking to turn their genealogical research into a written legacy. Aimed at both beginners and seasoned family historians, the book walks readers through the entire process—from gathering and organizing material to writing, editing, and even self-publishing.
Titford demystifies the task with clear advice on structure, tone, and layout, while also addressing common fears like lack of time or fear of criticism. He emphasizes that the final product doesn’t need to be expensive or professionally printed to be meaningful. With 127 pages of guidance, this second edition (published by Countryside Books in 2003) offers a blend of technical tips and motivational insight to help transform family archives into a compelling narrative.
