Hi Folks, One of our family members, who functions as our chief genealogical researcher, also has a gift with words. She's written a number of essays relating to our joint adventure back through time, which I believe are publishable. Can anybody suggest any genealogical publications, or any other publications, that this type of material may be submitted to? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks. Ken

First, she could try to see if there's a local genealogical or historical society for where your family lived. There are also statewide publications, for instance, there's the Magazine of Virginia Genealogy, which is a publication of the Virginia Genealogical Society. You can probably check the various state GenWeb sites to see if they have statewide societies, and then within those states, check the county sites for more local societies. http://www.usgenweb.org/ If you belong to a surname project, then that project might welcome essays to be posted on-line to its members.

Something to keep in mind - articles that are submitted could come with conditions attached - say that your relative has evidence of a particular line of your family, and it's not yet posted. If this is in the article, then the publication can insist that this information not be made public for a certain amount of time after the article comes out. So, have her check on restrictions such as that when she's thinking of submitting articles.
