My Family Tree Workbook: Genealogy for Beginners

Last week, I reviewed Our Family Tree — Create a New Family Heirloom. This creatively-designed, fill-in-the-blank, bound family history gives the owner a chance to preserve their family history by recording their details and stories in a beautiful hardbound book. Rosemary A. Chorzempa has created a similar book for children and beginner genealogists. My Family Tree Workbook: Genealogy for Beginners provides over 55 fill-in-the-bland forms, charts, and themed story pages.

This book is a great way to start building a family history. Not only are the pages easy to complete, each helps educate beginners in the process of researching, interviewing, and uncovering a family history. One nice aspect is the book doesn’t have just date and vital record type data forms, but also for sheets for recording important facts and even short stories. In filling out the forms, one is lead to interview family member, as well as make use of Internet and library resources. By the time someone completes this workbook they will hopefully be as addicted to genealogy as the rest of us.

Some may wish to purchase this workbook for themselves; however, at under $4 this makes an excellent gift for children, friends, and other family members. With any luck you may help start a new lifelong passion.
