Practical Tips for Writing a Family History Whilst Avoiding Bad Mistakes...

He will present some of the lessons learnt whilst spending twenty years producing A SAGA OF SMITHS: AN EPIC FAMILY HISTORY. He will cover such topics as devising a research strategy and handling ambiguity and confusion in historical sources.

Suggestions on how to avoid common pitfalls in producing a family history will also be given. Some reference will be made to ethical issue such as the need to respect confidentiality and avoid copyright violation.
