2. Print whatever you have already produced

I just looked at the info about MyCanvas and printing seems to be the only way to download or back up what is in there. I'd never even heard of My Canvas before this so I'm not at all familiar with it, just the info that is currently on the site about its demise.

See if you can use something such as CutePDF (http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp) and print to PDF files. You should be able to - I "print" Ancestry pages with CutePDF all the time to save them to my computer. Then at least you will have copies of what you have already developed and not have to save paper copies right now. You can take the PDF files to any print shop to be printed later on.

Export your data from Ancestry to Family Tree Maker or another program. Family Tree Maker will link to your existing Ancestry trees and the data you have for each person. Then you can try to finish your book from there. While Family Tree Maker is not my favorite genealogy program it does interact with Ancestry pretty well.
