Now it's finally time to take all that data and put it together into a story that your friends and relatives - yes, even your spouse and children! - will want to read. Using social history resources Mary Roddy will show you how to take your data and "fluff it up" with the kinds of details that draw your reader into the story of their ancestors' lives.
