Right after Thanksgiving, appropriately enough, and just before Christmas, finally something to show after many years of promising that these were in the works, here are the first 3 volumes of a projected multi volume set on the extended family history. The books are being sold on an invitation only basis.
Interested family members can contact me by email or by leaving a comment on this post with your return email address and I will send the link(s) to the online publisher so purchases can be made directly from Blurb.com. I will delete the email addresses from the blog after I reply.
Blurb is an online self-publisher and offers several formats for each of the books ranging from soft cover (paperback) to hardbound versions and a digital format ebook. The pictures above show the hardbound image wrap option. Currently only the Lorig book is available in all the options. The ebook version can be read using a tablet such as an iPad or Kindle or smart phone. The other two books were published using an older format and I am still working on converting them so they can be viewed as ebooks. Hopefully the conversion will be successful and they will also become available as ebooks. I'll post an update when that happens. In the meantime they are available in soft cover and hardbound.
In progress volumes will cover the Landaas, Lee, and Thompson families and perhaps a couple more given enough time and energy and if my “little gray cells” keep chugging along at full capacity.
I am so thankful to get these done and hope that the effort will preserve some of our family history for the generations to come.
