| WHAT THE CRITICS SAY ABOUT "What To Do With Your Roots, Now that you've dug them up!"
....Doris Ward is a Canadian by birth, but she married a "Tar-Heel" and is now immersed in genealogy. She has produced here a concise and informative booklet on how to organize your family history with its supporting photographs, documents and personal recollections into a form that is logical, presentable and readable. And then, if you are ready to carry your work a step further, she gives professional advice on
how to prepare your material for publication, promote and market it, and take care of the business end of the process.
She writes in a warm, friendly and knowledgeable style, and has the utmost reverence and
respect for ancestors of all kinds. As she notes: "I come from a long line of survivors who .....had poured their talents and strengths into activities that made an impact on their day and shaped the course of events to come."
The book is profuse with illustrations, many humorous, of how to go about organizing and publishing your material. There are other books on "how to" in genealogy, but for pure motivation, simplistic outline, and
ease of understanding in one sitting, this informative booklet sets the scene for getting started in the field of family history.

From the North Carolina Genealogical Society Journal, Vol. VI, No. 1, Feb. 1980
