This is a great book for any genealogist who feels the seriously need to organize their collection or for the organized person who is seeking to reorganize or get a few more ideas.

 

 

The book is broken into 3 parts.

This book is full of great information.  There are interview techniques and helpful hints.  Samples of very useful worksheet.  Storage ideas and organization techniques and so much more.  273 pages of pure infomations.

 

While writing this, I researched where you could purchase the book.  I personally purchased some time ago probably from a Barnes & Noble or Books-A-Million for about $20.  But now it does not seem that cheap to purchase.

 

Available at Amazon new & used ranging from $55 (used) to $395 (new) or to download on the Kindle for $10.  http://www.amazon.com/Organized-Family-Historian-Genealogical-Heirlooms/dp/B00069QN1K/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1357523841&sr=1-1&keywords=the+organized+family+historian
