Writing the Family Narative by Lawrence P. Gouldrup

In my efforts to write my family narrative in such a way so that it will be interesting and enjoyable I read quite a few books on how to write these types of stories. Gouldrup's book in one of the most detailed texts I've added to my library. With examples to back up his points, Gouldrup steps through the steps from pedigree charts and family group sheets to the finished essay. Some of his writing is as dry as the writing you'll not want to emulate so try to stay awake but the book is something you should read if you want to write family narratives.
