Publishing Your Family History
If you have piles of documents and pictures and accumulated lots of facts about your family, but haven't done anything with it, this presentation is for you. We'll start of by listing out all the typical excuses why you haven't published your family history and then show you exactly what you need to do to get it done. We're in a world of print-on-demand so it's even low-cost to produce books these days and doesn't take much technical know-how to do it. Come ready to learn and leave with a goal of publishing your family tree in a matter of weeks.
