Let us do the
work for you!
Do add other things besides text!
Books can be dry facts, or the most wonderful and engaging non-fiction historical account. However, it's always nice to "spice up" the text with other items.
Basic ideas include:
QR Codes (or comparable technology)
family photos - portraits, candid, and/or snap shots
photographs of the place or many other things
historical photos from local, regional or national archives
artwork - drawings, paintings, sketches
clip art - historical and decorative design elements such as dividers
electronic elements such as alternate formats (color photos, etc.), audio, video, and bonus material
consider offering free updates - this can also be a selling point

General text items beyond your data:
Family stories
Family statements/memories from several different people about one member.
This date in history...
Factoids, did you know, and "trivia"
newspaper items - both actual news and advertisements
"academic" history - history that influenced but not directly touched the family
Insert Items such as sound recordings, video, mini-archives, etc...
Fold outs for larger format items such as maps, photos, documents, charts, etc...
Some interesting items we has seen go
into genealogy and family history books include:
WWII Ration book and what was
left of the family stamps, listing of cemeteries (and locations) in the book, advertisements
from family business, personalized maps, Railroad Card,
photos of boot camp (including the bugler), military
unit and group photos, documents, etc. Anything that someone may have
(or currently do today) kept in/for a
scrapbook should be considered.
This area will be growing, so check back often. If you have a suggestion, let us know and we may just publish it here - crediting the source, of course!
