I have lots of Genealogy (some pretty impressive) around my home, many stories, some pictures, and family recipes. I'd like to get them published but I don't know how. I need to find someone who I know I feel I can trust to help me.

You'd have to publish it yourself. There is no market for this type of book with commercial publishers, unless it concerns famous people. Check out this site: http://www.lulu.com
I could help you, but I'm quite busy with my own publishing right now. I don't mind answering questions by e-mail, however.
You don't need to copyright it. Anything you write is automatically copyrighted. You just put a copyright notice in the book when it is published.

Gadfly was right - the only people who could be interested in the book would be your siblings and cousins. If you don't believe that, look around your home and see how many books on genealogy of complete strangers you have. A copy shop - Kinko's in the USA, others in Canada and UK - will accept a Word document via e-mail or diskette and run off as many copies as you like, with a "Comb" binding. Lulu.com will print to order with hard or soft covers.
It isn't clear what you are asking for - a printer or an editor. Either way, you'd have to pay the person.

each and each individual defines their seen relatives history, yet i will proportion a private tale with you. i do no longer believe that dwelling human beings are proper to contain in printed books.. for one factor, they nonetheless have history to be "performed". Their tale is incomplete (they nonetheless might have infants, get divorces, and so on). One branch of my relatives did no longer think of an analogous way.. there's a definite factor approximately seeing their names in a e book, and THEIR determination replaced into to hold all of it the way down to contemporary. It by no potential labored. each time the guy doing the modifying have been given on the brink of ending, a clean branch could be got here upon, wanted THEIR stuff lined (even although the time cut back handed 3 yrs earlier). It wound up being bickering and disputes, and so on. human beings that did artwork to contribute biographies have yet to work out it performed. One individual wrote his own bio... it replaced into on the brink of fifty pages. i think of he lined what he had for breakfast, on his first day of faculty. that's barely decency to have consent from dwelling persons. no longer each physique chooses or needs their own information universal. My suggestion... set a cut back of a definite couple, and perhaps to their grandchildren/ gr grandchildren, and so some distance as available, the cut back off is generations that are no longer any greater dwelling.

First copyright your book, by submitting an application with a completed book/manuscript to the libray of congress, to ensure your rights to the book, then you can find a publisher. do you plan on trying to sell you book.
