"Planning a Future for Your Family's Past" is a concise guide to organizing/analyzing genealogy materials and preserving them for the next generation of descendants and researchers. Please visit my genealogy blog at: https://ClimbingMyFamilyTree.blogspot.com.

Born in the Bronx and transplanted to New England, I was a marketing executive before becoming an author and embarking on my family history journey in 1998. I earned an M.B.A. in marketing from Long Island University in New York and a B.A. from the City University of New York.

Excerpt from a book review by Helen Tovey, editor of Family Tree Magazine (UK), in November, 2021: "Central to Marian's purpose is to ensure that we pass on the fruits of our family history labours to the next generation--and also share the photographs, memories, heirlooms and more. Try out her tips and reap the rewards as you make a plan to suit you--and put it into practice. It really is a doable project!"
