How to publish a genealogy manuscript

[Sharon Korn mssrkorn@msn.com]

X-No-archive: yes
I have written a family history of about 300 pages which includes extensive
citations. Most of my family has no interest in reading it, but there are
chapters that go back to colonial America and to Europe which could be useful
to genealogists who are distant relatives or others who are unknown to me.
Some of the information may not be available from other sources.

I do not believe there is a commercial market for this sort of book, but I
would like to have it printed so I can donate it to the appropriate libraries.
My main requirement is that the library or other repository would enter in
their catalog the names of at least those people who are named in the chapter
headings, if not the many other relatives who are also mentioned, so that the
book would be useful to researchers. A complicating factor may be that, while
most of the ancestors were Jewish, about 40 pages has information about
ancestors who were Methodists and Quakers. Therefore, it is possible some
Jewish libraries may not want the book.

If anyone has any suggestions about how to proceed, including the names of
specific libraries or institutions, I would very much appreciate it. This
discussion group is probably not the appropriate forum for this sort of topic,
so please reply privately. Thank you.
