Question:

What are some gift idea for christmas that I can use to provide family history information to my relatives?

I have spent a lot of time researching and now I want to present some of that information to my family. What are some low cost ways of doing that?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If you have the history in Family tree maker or some other program. Print it out and have sets run and put them in booklet form (Like report folders for school) We used 1 inch notebooks when doing this a few years ago. Red (Christmas colored) folders would be neat. No one could lose them.

We used dividers for families. Then we ran copies of wedding photos and fiftieth anniversary photos to add to each family.

You can use the acid free plastic sleeves from the office supply store. (this will make it more expensive, depending on how many sets your going to make). Or if you use the report folders, you could use the stick on rings for the holes and you could avoid using the plastic sleeves.

The costs wouldn't be too bad. Notebooks, sleeves, copying. The shipping or perhaps personal delivery.

If I remember correctly we did 27 and shipped them all around the country.

Congratulations on your hard work, been there and am still doing that. I think I have recently passed 2200 family members. I am an only daughter and have all of the family photos also.

Whew, what a job!!!! Good Luck.
