After sending the newspaper article to the YFT mag, they have asked me if I would like to write a case study for them. Problem is I'll have to do this all by myself, as I can't ask you all any questions about my family. What I will ask though, has anyone done a similar thing? Did you choose a specific event or write more generally? Thanks.

Just been told it is a proper comissioned job which I'll be quite nicley paid for. Look out for the story of my wigmaker ancestor and his dung heap in a few months. Must get to writing it now. (Which is the hard part!)

Thanks Zoe. The editor has sent me a detailed description of how to write it, so shouldn't be any problems with that. Got a deadline in 3 weeks time.
