It takes some detective work to fill in the pages of this workbook, but once you've done it your whole extended family can benefit. Genealogy buffs should love this book. Those frustrated by medical questionnaires you're asked to complete in the waiting room will put an end to that stress -- just reference the completed workbook. A nice fringe benefit: it brings your family closer together. Congratulations to the author for filling a much-needed niche!
