    3. Not in mine line, sorry to say, but it is an Irish name, although there have been Geoghegans born in Scotland. According to LDS Family Search: - there is a Jane Geoghegan b. 2 May 1874 in Govan, Lanark, Scotland, to John G. and Elizabeth Ballantyne. - and there are several Jane G's born in Ireland around the time period in Westmeath, Dublin, and likely other places. I suppose it is possible her line is not going to be found in Surrey. Michael C Canada

    1. [SRY] Family history book
    2. Hi Patrick, I recently did my own book with the riviting title "The McBrides of Surrey". Four small bits of advice. First set a deadline, eg Christmas this year or next year. Secondly limit the scope of your book to a couple of generations if you have large families to write about. If you don't do this you will never finish your book as you will constantly be finding more relatives. My book featured my greatgrandfather, his wife and their 9 children all born in Surrey. There were 12 chapters, each chapter about each person as well as a potted history of the region. Each of the 9 children had a section about themselves, their spouses (if married) and their children. Thirdly at the end of each chapter leave a page or two with the heading "Notes' and leave them blank so that the recipients of the book can write in extra things they may find. Finally put a picture, photograph, photocopyy of letters postcards etc on every page. Nothing is as boring as to have to read pages of information without illustrations. Obviously other people will have other ideas but I found the above, through trial and error, worked for me. I also found that by telling the prospective recipients of the book of what I was doing, I received lots of old photos, postcards etc. Kindest regards Wayne McBride

    1. Re: [SRY] Family History Book
    2. Richard M Brown
    3. Patrick, This has been discussed before. My suggestion was to use your genealogy programme to produce suitable reports in rich text format. Then, switch to a desk top publishing (DTP) programme to add  in the bells and whistles.  DTP is far more stable and versatile than a word processor for producing books with illustrations. Modern versions of both DTP and genealogy programmes are capable of producing books with chapters and indexes with a few button clicks, or using wizards.  However, you are presented with a limited range of formats and appearances.  All depends on your confidence in working with software, and your vision for the finished article.  You can either choose a template on offer, or branch out and produce something to your own format.  If you want to use your own format, then use a DTP programme. I hope this makes some sense.  I can contact you off list with some samples of what I have done in DTP, if you wish. With best wishes  Richard  Brown Bromley Kent U.K. ________________________________ From: patrick holland <lambeth@tadaust.org.au> To: eng-surrey@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, 13 October, 2009 6:04:35 Subject: [SRY] Family History Book Hello, I am just about ready to put all my family tree data and photographs into a book format which future generations will be able to view and add to.
