I would add that, as usual, Margaret is correct in saying that genealogical writers almost never make any money from their efforts.  Indeed, I suspect that one would be better off writing for someone else at 50 cents an hour than to continue research and writing such materials hoping for net profit from sales.  There simply ain't enough of us buying, especially with the Internet looming as a valuable source !!!!!!!!!!!   Paul

  ..... But first and foremost no one makes money on
  genealogy books. They invest far more time than it is worth to compile these
  records for a small royalty.  Margaret Amundson
