Writing and Publishing Your Family History

One of the best ways to ensure that all our genealogical research will survive is to publish a book. This presentation covers the entire publishing effort, your publishing options, the mechanics of creating a book–organization, content, process, printing options, and cost, plus more. Bring your questions!
