I've got both those books, I've read through "Getting it right" and re-thought a few of my processes. It was very helpful in seeing examples of what types of information can be used with events. The one thing I doubt I'll change is how I add names to my data base, the preference is for using the birth registration name as the main name, then add every other variation to AKAs. I don't like to see my birth name as a main name, I changed it through deed poll, I've also got hundreds of names where I've added in apostrophes with the nickname or name commonly used in the first name field eg Gladys Molly "Molly". I think I'll be using this book like Kirsten mentioned, as a style manual, with my variations for what's working with my family file.
I haven't had time to read through Mark Lang's book yet, but was keen to see his chapters on add-on programs and was hoping I'd get tips on using them more effectively.
