Talk:Iowa Compiled Genealogies

The section that begins "Writing and Sharing Your Family History" is off-topic from the article's title and purpose, and I would suggest that the entire section be removed. Anyone with strong feelings to the contrary? Lise 21:04, 9 July 2012 (UTC) I agree that it is off-topic, the section it replaced was about printing your genealogy and gave a link to an article on how that can be done. I think restoring that section would be good.Familyjournals 00:01, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
