People take comfort in knowing where they come from. Their family, ethnic and regional ancestry has contributed to values, emotions and how to live life. Publishing genealogy for the family is an excellent way to keep this legacy vibrant and real.
There are many options available today to secure the family history for future generations. On line blogs, PDF or specialist files for e readers, photocopying and binding, or books on demand, or perhaps having a printer print a run of the family book. The options cover the entire spectrum.
Creating a book is difficult. The research, writing, collecting photographs, getting the family stories, identifying the black sheep, and the angels all takes time. This is fortunately sped up with the Internet. Genealogy research is now fast and cheap. Email keeps one in touch with family members near to real time. Decisions on the final work is complex. Lay, out, use of color, cost to the pocket book, all have to be made.
Many people put together a family book to satisfy their individual passion, while others do it to meet a real desire of the extended family to learn their origins. But whatever reason, for most writers this becomes a labor of love, where just finishing is all the satisfaction needed.
Not only can this type of writing provide a family tree, it becomes a vehicle to record stories and values. This adds color to what can be a stoic factual account of past history. Photographs with captions inserted at the relevant points can bring the staid born, married, worked, bred and died statistics to life.
