Your Family’s History

Your Family’s History is an introductory handbook written by John MacGibbon as an extension to talkshe gave this year at the National Library, about researching, writing and publishing a family history. The book draws on his long experience in genealogy, and as a professional writer and publisher.

Information on how and where to do research is particularly aimed at people new to genealogy. People who want to take the next step and publish their work, willfind John’s professional advice on writing, layout, working with graphics, publishing and printing particularly helpful.

The handbook is strong on the computer and networkingaspects of genealogy. The author started out in the mid 1990s before much was available on the Internet, and he had to use systems such as FidoNet, Compuserve, Telnet and Usenet. Since then there's been a huge explosion of Internet resources and the booklet gives useful pointers in this area.

Other computer-type advice includes backing up data (both 'on the ground' and in the 'cloud'),setting up a special project blogsite, using Evernote as a searchable repository for research notes, and using software for genealogy databases, writing, graphics editing and book production.

There is also advice on using digital cameras in research and image production.

Your Family’s History is a 40 page, A5 booklet, containing 11,000 words and 24 illustrations. It is available from the Ngaio Press website (www.ngaiopress.com/familyhistory.htm) and on TradeMe (search for the book title). Or send a cheque to Ngaio Press, PO Box 29-010, Wellington. The price is $15 plus $2 postage.

Keeping your information safe

We all have more and more information to manage in today’s information rich world. There is also increasing concern over security of information stored in our PC’s or on the internet.

myINFOSAFE has been designed with this in mind. It is a Windows PC Application that provides you a secure place to organise and sort your personal information (things like your education details, your employment history, key documents, user IDs). You can also create a simple Income and Expenditure and Net Worth statement to understand your financial situation. Keep track of your information around your investments, banking, insurance etc as well. You can also store information about your personal assets to ensure you have the information you need to manage them well. There is also a section to record your thoughts and memories in a simple digital diary. This will help you keep a track of important information you want to remember in years to come.

myINFOSAFE is a New Zealand developed application and there are several enhancements in the pipeline that will add more value to users of the software. We are keen to hear from SeniorNet Members about what they would like to see in future versions.

We have arranged a special offer for SeniorNet members and when you enter the Promo code SENIOR when you register and purchase the software, you will get the myINFOSAFE for $29.95 (including GST) rather than the $34.95 RRP.
