Family History Book Service
Facts & Common Questions
What exactly do you create?
I create custom family history books that turn genealogy research into a readable, organized story. These books combine narratives, timelines, family trees, photos, and historical context into a format designed to be read and shared not just stored online.
What sources can you work with?
I work with research from Ancestry, MyHeritage, FamilySearch, GEDCOM files, DNA test results, documents, photographs, oral histories, and personal notes.
Do I need to already have a family tree?
No. Many clients already have a tree, but if you don’t, research services can be provided. If you have partial information, that’s often enough to begin.
Is this a family tree or a book?
This is a book, not just a chart. Family trees may be included, but the focus is on storytelling: who your ancestors were, how they lived, and how their lives fit into history.
Can you include DNA results?
Yes. DNA results can be incorporated and explained in plain language, including ethnicity estimates, migration patterns, and how DNA fits into your documented family history.
Is this written by AI?
Modern tools may assist with organizing and drafting large volumes of data, but every book is reviewed, edited, and curated by a human.
No project is delivered without human oversight, fact-checking, and client approval.
How long does it take?
Timelines vary based on scope and complexity. Most projects take several weeks from start to final delivery, especially for multi-generation or research-heavy books.
Do you offer printed family history books?
Yes. I offer custom printed family history books in a variety of styles and formats. Options may include hardcover or softcover books, different trim sizes, paper types, and binding styles, depending on your preferences and the project’s scope. Digital PDF and eBook versions are also available, either as stand-alone options or alongside printed books.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the project, number of generations, research needs, and level of customization. Most family history book projects begin in the $199-$299 range.
Is my family information kept private?
Yes. All family data is treated as confidential. Your research and personal information are never shared publicly, reused, or published without your explicit permission.
Who is this service best for?
This service is ideal for individuals and families who care deeply about preserving their history, want something tangible to share with relatives,
and prefer a done-for-you approach rather than writing and designing a book themselves.
Still unsure?
If you’re not sure whether your research is ready for a book, a brief consultation can help determine the best next step with no obligation to proceed.
