If you want to know more about the lives of your ancestors than just names and dates then a Family History Book is the option for you.
Each book includes mini-biographies of direct ancestors and the most interesting extended family, and is fully illustrated with family trees, maps, copies of original documents and articles.
All we need to get started is the name of the person whose ancestors your would like us to trace!

Family History Books focus on a single family line and include details of siblings and cousins for each generation. Using a range of records, including old newspapers, trade directories, emigration and military records, they tell the unique story of your family.
All Family History Books also come with an electronic version (in gedcom format) which can be used with all major genealogy software and online genealogy resources. This includes references to all the sources gathered in the research and will be useful if you decide to find out more about your ancestors on your own.

Every Family History Book is as unique as the family it describes but there are three main options to choose from:
Ancestor Profile (one generation) £98
|
Three-Generation Book
|
Five-Generation Book
|
|
Do you want to know more about great grandad James or find out if Great auntie Martha's crazy life story is really true? An Ancestor Profile will focus on your one, chosen ancestor and use all available documents to trace their life.
|
This option will cover three generations (base person, their parents and their grandparents) with mini-biographies on each direct ancestor and any notable members of the extended family and tree charts showing how it all fits together.
|
As above but this option covers five generations (base person, their parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and great great grandparents). This will usually take a tree back to the late eighteenth century or maybe earlier!
|
Whichever of these three options you choose, we will always make sure you get exactly what you want. Here are a few more options that might help you personalise your Family History Book even further:
|
HARDBACK BINDING (£60)
Smart, spiral binding is included as standard but you can upgrade to hardback binding with your family name embossed on the spine/ front for just £60. |
FAMILY PHOTOS (free)
Including photos of your ancestors and the places they lived can really bring a tree to life. If you would like us to incorporate your family photographs, we can do so for no extra cost. Simply get them scanned/digitised and upload them to our secure server or deliver them to us to scan for you and we will return them to you using Royal Mail Special Delivery. |
|
EXTRA GENERATIONS (£150)
Often it is possible to trace a family's story back further than the 5th generation. If you would like to see how far your story might go, why not add extra generations? These are charged at £150 per generation and include all descendants. |
ADDITIONAL COPIES (£25/£85)
You might like to order additional copies of your Family History Book to share with family members. These extra copies available at £25 each (spiral bound) or £85 each (hard bound) |
