Set yourself a time limit Give yourself a year or whatever, to finish and stick to it. Decide what you want to do with it. Is it for family only or publishing for general reading. Decide whether you want to do a bio on one member or a page on each branch/limb/twig. Decide if you are going to do it following a time frame e.g. when they left Germany until their death in other words a small story on each family, or are you going to do is as a list of family birth deaths and marriages.
