Overview

You sit down at your computer and open your word processor. A large, blank page glares at you-- daring you to blacken it with your keystrokes. Assessing the challenge, you enthusiastically begin typing. A single word, "Birth", appears on the screen. "So far, so good," you think to yourself. With a little less certainty, your fingers manage to type in a date, a place, and a few names.  "Now what?" you ask yourself.

Suddenly the enormity of the task hits you like that foul ball in the 3rd grade.  You fumble through a few more paragraphs before deciding that you would do better retreating, regrouping, and charging the enemy at a later time.  Promising yourself that you will return someday, your hand defeatedly clicks on the "Save" button and the once-blank page, although scarred with a few sentences, triumphantly disappears.

Sound familiar?  If so, you're not alone.  Many people want to write a personal history about themselves or a family member but they just become lost or overwhelmed by the size and complexity of the project.  That's where Personal Historian comes in.
