Backstory—Have a photo of a relative making history? Send it along with a very brief (50 word) story explaining just how history was being made. Published BackStories earn $100.
Heirloom—Packrat or just sentimental? If you’re ready to share you collection of heirlooms, send Ancestry Magazine a brief description of the collection as well as a photo. Published Heirlooms earn $100.
Heritage Recipe—Who didn’t love great-grandma’s goulash? Send your favorite family recipe and a short story detailing your fondest memories of the dish to Ancestry Magazine. Published Heritage Recipes earn $100.
Other ideas or articles—Payment varies depending upon article type, subject, and length. Completed articles only please—no queries.
