If you project is over 600 MB in size, we suggest looking toward DVD, as storage varies from about four and a half gigabytes to just under 18 GB – regardless of file type. If the book contains strong video components, DVD also lends itself well as it can be configured to be played on a home entertainment system rather than a computer. Some large book projects may be better suited to USB or memory cards – depending on your audience.

Electronic Magazine and Genealogy date, family story, history, information, oral, parent, records, relation, research, search, start, tool, verify 10:58 pm
Though it is real easy, don’t fall into a “parent trap”. While getting oral history including stories, dates, relations is an invaluable tool for the beginning genealogist (indeed, a great book starting activity), always take the time to obtain records for all information gained in this manner. This record search can be something you do with the relative providing the information or independently.
