From a practical point of view, Lene, you must realise that a book like the one you propose will have pretty well family circle sales only, so you're talking self-publishing.
Before you even put pen to paper, pick up a few similar self-published non-fiction family sagas and study them to see how their authors have gone about the job.
A book like this will not be written overnight, so take some time to study what's available to you in the self publishing field. Some deals are straight rip-offs, but you'll soon be able to spot those a country mile away. Others involve a little technical know-how. Some will offer a free deal but per-item cost of the resulting PoD book will be high.
You must also realise that most PoD presses can't handle inside colour and that many ebook formats will have problems with pictures and any family-tree tables you intend to carry.
In othere words, Lene, be sure you know what you're doing rather than blindly plod along with a manuscript you may well have to completely re-present for effective publication. Write with practical publication firmly in mind.
Good luck and best wishes. Neil
