Otee, Genealogy is my new passion, I've only been doing it since March. I have not had one person, friend or relative express more than mild interest when I tell them what I am doing. My dad who is a retired professor with a doctorate in HISTORY has absolutely no interest. He says "Why in the world are you interested in that!" None of my family has even bothered to write me back when I have requested info, even my uncle who can send Email. So, I have come to the conclusion that it's a solitary hobby, thankfully my husband indulges me just as I allow him his hobbies. I would think that if you offer your research to your relatives, you could ask them for printing costs, etc, if you need the donation. Otherwise, I would consider it a gift. I'm sure that they won't have any idea the amount of time you put in to your labor of love. Just my 2 cents. Dana >
