    Hi guys,

    Books are gr8 but in a interactive world i'd like to be able to put it all on dvd so ppl can go though it with a bit more interest
    Id like ye old tree format, plus photos documents pic of places where they lived etc etc etc

    I've done this on a very small scale at a family history class I go to. We used powerpoint, not quite sure how interactive you are thinking of. In the one I made, I put in photos, family history points, bmd certificates and census records and a general timeline. I made it based on just one of my ancestors and traced his life.

    Havent done any of this but .....

    A simple way, as you have already written your book, would be add all the extra stuff you want and then convert it to PDF. You could also tack on a gedcom converted to HTML.

    As i say havent done it, having been so relieved to finish a book, have left it at that. I have thought about the DVD concept though, but not enought spare round tuits.

    cheers..Ed
