Family History Books

​​

Our services include professional memoir writing, family history books, corporate histories, tribute books, and special event books.

​

Family history books are the ultimate custom book, compiling whatever particular aspect of family history a person may want to include. 

​

Common elements in a family history book are:

• Family trees.

• Historical documents like civil records, ship manifests, letters, newspaper articles.

• Photographs.

• Stories.

• Artwork.

• Correspondence.

​

Some people already have done the research and want to present the information in a way that engages the reader. This is a great opportunity to pull younger generations into the history every family has in common. Others view the family history book as the goal that motivates the research.

​

With so many options, the sky is really the limit. This kind of project can be as simple or complex as you choose. 

​

Imagine some of these books:

​

Correspondence collection 

This kind of book takes the letters ancestors wrote to each other and assembles them to tell their story. With topical photos, it's easy to create a book that represents the subject matter and allows the reader to step into the life of their ancestor.

​

Compilation of family stories and ancestry

This kind of book can have many variations, but the general focus usually is to illustrate the path a family has taken over the years. From their immigration to the current generation... the arc of a family's history is documented. This is a great way to honor ancestors but also to show future generations where they came from.
