I just came a cross a website called zazzle.com. They offer a large variety of customizable products. I was fascinated by the binders that are catering to us genealogists. Here is one example:<\/p>\n

\"Genealogy<\/p>\n

You have a large number of basic designs where you add the text and graphics of you choice.<\/p>\n

Here is another binder looking like an old leather book:\"Old<\/p>\n

If you go to\u00a0http:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/binders<\/a> you can check it out for yourself.<\/p>\n

The binders I looked at have the US 3 ring system, so we Europeans will have to buy an American hole puncher too.<\/p>\n

In addition to binders they have a huge line of products, with many of them you can make your own design.<\/p>\n

I should add that I have not tried these products myself and can not vouch for the quality or service. I have just played around with their online design possibilities.<\/p>\n

I am not in any way affiliated with this merchant or product.<\/p>\n

If you try this out, why not give me a word and we can share it with our \u00a0fellow genealogists?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
