The session presenters will discuss the importance of publishing personal, family and social histories – and the use of related genealogical research publications – to reach a broader audience beyond one’s own immediate family members.  One great reason to publish histories of this kind is to enable researchers (from novice to expert) to search and discover your work and the unique information it contains.  Session topics will include the importance of print ''and'' digital versions of your work, ISBNs, registering works with the Library of Congress, making the work available through '''''Family Search Online Book Collection''''', worldwide distributin/access to your work and other essentials for making your work available to anyone.  Examples of recent publications will be presented and a case study regarding the search and discovery of a “lost” ancestor using a variety of research methods and sources.
