I've been working on a short "book" to take to Pennsylvania next week when I visit some of my dad's cousins, but I'm not sure I'll get it done in time. If not, I might send it afterwards. :) Dana Leedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387705697369311607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839551061657279980.post-47579235215263443292016-06-20T08:43:59.250-07:002016-06-20T08:43:59.250-07:00At RootsTech I heard a great idea that is similar ...At RootsTech I heard a great idea that is similar to yours Dana... mini-books that are in a digestible size as if they were bedtime stories for children. I like this idea and once I finish a few more projects, I'm going to start this with some of my kids favorite stories in a larger collection we rarely read. Lulu.com is a great place to print books. As well as CreateSpace (in case you want to sell the books to a wider audience but you don't want to pay for the distribution costs).Devon Noel Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05440829254298661495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839551061657279980.post-67660904083178621522015-09-03T10:25:13.678-07:002015-09-03T10:25:13.678-07:00Karen, that sounds great!

The books I am thinking about doing in the future will be 25-30 pages and more about stories, documents & photographs for those who aren't as interested in genealogy. But, I also hope to do more longer books where there's both a section for stories & a section for the more 'genealogical' information.Dana Leedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387705697369311607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839551061657279980.post-15766332539897935962015-09-03T09:01:48.683-07:002015-09-03T09:01:48.683-07:00I have one book that was printed a couple of years...I have one book that was printed a couple of years ago. I'm working on another one. These are printed, spiral-bound and shared with family members. I use some photos I find online after I request permission from the photographer. Other than that, the book includes basic research information. I write in Word so the wording, etc. can be changed. I also include footnotes for each fact and recommendations for further research and what I haven't found. And I have an index. Congratulations on your accomplishment!!!!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15183898974865488232noreply@blogger.com
