More 'How to' FH Articles

ARTICLES

A couple more articles covering the tricky topic of 'writing up your family history' have come to light following yesterday's blog post. Obviously, the Internet is filled with such material, but my e-buddy, Christine Woodcock, offers her own angle on the subject with a post on her Canadian blog, here, which involves using the Publisher package (I've got access to this but have never used it); and, coincidentally, another Canadian blogger, Lynn Palermo, has a piece here (with other links branching off the article, too). I have my own views on the topic, which I may someday put into an article - and if anyone else has any thoughts then please leave a comment below or send me an email.

Leeds researchers are sure to be interested in this item about the 'Leeds Tithe Map Project' on The Passionate Genealogist's blog. Gosh, I wish my areas of geographical interest had this sort of coverage.
