Your Family's Story This Christmas

Your Family's Story This Christmas

Publish Your Family Memoir or Heritage Scrapbook on Lulu

RALEIGH, N.C., Dec. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Christmas means family. This year more than ever, genealogists are giving their family a special gift: their own story, in living color. Lulu ( http://www.lulu.com/ ) lets the keeper of the family tree create a biography or heritage scrapbook free of charge with all the ease and speed on-demand publishing allows.

"Peytons along the Aquia" ( http://www.lulu.com/lulu ) was penned by Edna Barney to cover 11 generations of the Virginia family called Peyton/Payton. Vikki L. Jeanne Cleveland of Illinois wrote and published a book to help others get started "Rooting Out Your AnceStory: A Primer for Beginning Genealogy" ( http://www.lulu.com/vikkijeanne ).

"I have been compiling the history of my family for more than fifty years, starting at the age of twelve," explains Edna Barney. "I was overjoyed Lulu offered a way to publish a lovely printed reference book of my Peyton family. It has given me much pleasure to give my new book to family members, but I also get a great thrill every time an unknown someone purchases my creation."

This Christmas season, people are using Lulu to create full-color picture books and heritage scrapbooks to give as gifts, or for posterity. Many people have spent years assembling a web site, or using software to plot their family tree, and now they have a quick, easy and inexpensive way of sharing the story.

The publishing process on http://www.lulu.com/ is free and takes only minutes. Printing a 30-page full-color photo book costs less than $10. Instructions, ideas and examples are available here: http://www.lulu.com/static/genealogy.php .

The Lulu marketplace contains over 16,000 books along with thousands of independently published images, songs, and calendars. Publishing on Lulu is free and publishers set their own royalties on products. Books and calendars purchased on Lulu are printed on demand.
