Syble, and group, I am also trying to create a book for my family and understand exactly what you are saying. There is ssoooooooo much repetition of information such as Events and Census data!!!
I want my book to be more of a 'biographical sketch of each family', tying the whole family together rather than a long list of facts (Events, etc) but I have not figured out how this can be done. I have "lots and lots" of newspaper articles, obituaries, family stories, etc that I want included as part of the narrative, not entered as a long list of Events. And I want the census data to be for the whole family, not each person separately. Surely there must be folks on this list who have created narrative books for their families who might be able to help us........I hope so.
