Write the story of their lives
Putting your family history information into narrative form can be one of the most rewarding experiences for genealogists -- and it can help to get other family members interested as well. (And beyond that, when more people write family histories, the more that genealogical societies will have material for their journals!)
The Internet has many sites with help and ideas for anyone planning to write a family history. Here are some of the key ones, which offer enough advice to get you well on your way:
