CVGS Program on Wednesday, 25 August: Rick Hanson on "Writing and Publishing Your Family History"

 Wednesday, 25 August 2021, 12 noon PDT

CVGS General Meeting (in a Zoom Video Conference)

Rick Hanson on "Writing and Publishing Your Family History”

 One of the best ways to ensure that all your genealogical research will survive is to publish a book.  This presentation provides an overview of the entire publishing effort – types of publications, why bother, writing, content, copyright, ISBNs, classification systems, other registrations, printing, binding and revisions.

 Rick Hanson was a career computer programmer/analyst, and is now retired. He has been working with other family members on genealogy since 1983. He authored and self-published seven books (and is working on the eighth). Rick created a database of almost 4000 scanned family photos and source documents to support his book projects. He is the webmaster for the USGenWeb - Sierra County (CA) web site.

He’s active in several local genealogy and historical society groups in Northern California.
