I have downloaded this template and after 2 and a half hours my computor just did not install and I then tried the other suggested template which was suggested on the list by from Susan and it downloads in a couple of minutes, is in word format, very simple to use and consists of about 20 odd pages which explains where various items go plus suggestions of what to put. I fully suggest that this one is a good basic plus it is very adaptable http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wiburlgs/Family_History.doc http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wiburlgs/Family_History_2.doc They are from http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wiburlgs/page3.html Regards Elaine

Thank you Elaine..... I've had a quick look and they appear to be just "up my street" ...... I've long meant to do a 'book' so I shall have a go. I have hard/paper files that are done in that sort of format, I suppose .... sheets of text and pics within plastic sleeves but a 'book' would look a lot more special.

Hi Elaine I'm glad you found the book template useful. For those who might also be interested there is no downloading of anything required, merely use "Save As" to save the Word file to wherever you want on your own hard-drive, then just use it as you would a normal Word file filling in your own data and pics. It is simple to use and easy to customise to suit your own style. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wiburlgs/Family_History.doc> > http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wiburlgs/Family_History_2.doc> from http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wiburlgs/page3.html> Regards Susan NZ -----Original Message----- From: orkney-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:orkney-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Heather Johnson Sent: Sunday, 4 January 2009 8:14 a.m. To: orkney@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ORKNEY] re [PEI-ROOTS] BOOK TEMPLATE Thank you Elaine.....

If any one would like to see an example of the book I created on ancestry let me know. If you want you can send me a small gedcom file and I can create it for you. It can be printed out on your own computer or Ancestry can create a leather bound book. By the way this is not an advert for Ancestry, I have several moans about them but the book creation is good.
