"Chunking" - Long blocks of text, no matter how well-written, are boring. Small caps work, too, and can be quite attractive. Small caps - In genealogy, it's common practice to set surnames in all caps to make scanning easy. 
Create a specific style for the footnotes or notations, and use it consistently throughout.
Footnotes - Include footnotes or explanations of names so that readers know that "Aunt Susie" refers to the Suzanna Jones found on page 14, or that "the Baileys" are a family who lived next door. Memories - Include a special section in the book for stories from living descendants that detail what they remember, what life was like growing up, and their lives today. Grouping - Group narratives of key figures or other historical information at the front of the book followed by charts, or place biographies of key figures of each branch immediately before their corresponding descendant charts. 
Consistency - Develop a consistent but distinctive format for all narratives, taking into account margins, columns, fonts, and spacing.
