Put Family Book Online?
Is there any way to put an unpublished family history book online to your site? It is about 100 pages, typed, with many beautiful pictures. Only thought googlebooks scanned & upload them but thought you might have a way... Thank you, Brenda in memphis

You could upload the pdf file to the Internet Archive, where there are many genealogy books already available.

"The Armstrong Collection"
An amazing Word doc with pictures I developed 15+ years ago with the grandson (William J. "Billy) Armstrong III, of the Memphis Yellow Fever martyr (Dr. William J. Armstrong) from his data, letters & pictures of the family from 1862-1924. We gave CDs to every historical society before Billy died in 2005 but no one has put this online for the world to access. It has never been copyrighted. I have been told that I own this doc since I researched, collected, compiled, and organized this a Word doc. The Chain of Custody and full credits are in the doc. It has a Table of Contents, is 195 pages, & includes supplementary information. Unfortunately, it is 19 mg as a PDF so I cannot sent a pdf. Can I send you a CD with the Word doc?
Thank you, Brenda B. Watson, (901) 237-3094, 8067 Neshoba Rd., Germantown, TN 38138
