These days, people are making every dollar count. Christmas gifts are no exception. Practical gifts and items that have more personal significance have become the most appealing. One such valuable gift is a family tree book, a documentation of your family history.

Maybe you´ve been researching your family´s history for some time now, but haven´t found a good way to share it with your relatives. Giving genealogy books as Christmas gifts could be the answer. Perhaps researching your family history will be a new year´s resolution. Either way, one source that can help you is the Genealogy Book Printing company in southeast Georgia.

GenealogyBookPrinting.com has been producing these books for families across the nation since 1986. Retired flight attendant Norma Wildes is one of their customers. Norma Wildes´ father, Charlie Wildes, published several genealogy books with GenealogyBookPrinting.com including "Once Upon a Time in Tattnall County Georgia" (1990). She said many people have purchased this book as a Christmas gift for their loved ones, and it´s an appropriate gift for the holiday season.

"Holidays should be about family, and a genealogy book is one to be kept because the information there can be passed onto others in the family," Norma Wildes said. "Whereas if you give the current novel or something else, it will soon be forgotten. The information in a genealogy book is really eternal in the fact that it´s a factual history that you could give to your own grandchildren or great-grandchildren. It´s a gift that can even be passed on to further generations."

Reports estimate the average expenditure by American consumers on Christmas gifts and decorations in 2008 was $500 to $1000. When you consider the amount consumers spend during the holidays and the current economic recession, it makes sense to give gifts that make a more significant impact on people´s lives. One way to accomplish this is to give something like socks or a gas card instead of a singing rubber fish. Another way is to give a keepsake with long-lasting personal value such as a genealogy book.

Retired chemicals industry professional and customer Jack Westberry said the owner of Genealogy Book Printing, Bill Werkheiser, helped him format his information in the most efficient way. By optimizing the design they were able to reduce the number of pages in the book. The result was a memorable genealogy book for Westberry´s family at a lower cost.

"Some people might´ve said, well, this is what you´ve got and this is what the price is going to be, as opposed to saying, well, let´s see what we can do to adjust the layout and make it a smaller, more workable project for you," Westberry said. "I was impressed with [Bill Werkheiser´s] cooperativeness and willingness to help."

Werkheiser said his company is structured to make ordering your genealogy books as easy as possible and the most cost-effective. Whether you want many copies of a hardcover, coffee table styled book, or a smaller number of full-color books, Genealogy Book Printing has the capacity and expertise to provide you with beautiful books and an all-around positive experience.

"To deal with most online printers or local print shops, you have to know how to prepare files for publishing or own specific software or they are not able to help you," Werkheiser said. "One thing that differentiates us from them is how we built our business. Instead of telling the customer what we want; we ask the customer what they have. We then built a system of processes around that to accommodate the customer."

You can make your family´s holiday season more memorable with family history books. You can share warm conversations with your loved ones reminiscing instead of listening to that rubber singing fish.
