Family History Books
Have you ever wondered from whom you inherited your good looks … or how you got your name … or whether your distant relatives were famous inventors … or if you had any rich uncles … all this may be discovered in your family tree.
I specialise in researching, writing and publishing family history books. I take care to ensure that the books are colourful, tell an interesting story, are fun to read and become a treasured heirloom of your heritage. The books can often be 400-1000 pages long and are printed in colour on quality paper, hard bound and are titled in gold leaf on the cover and spine. (see the gallery images here )
OUR HERITAGE, the things we live by and teach our children is preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange our histo
ry, ideas and feelingsBy having your family story told you can
- Learn the origin of your name
- Investigate where you come from
- Solve family myths
- Take responsibility for documenting your family heritage
- Make a gift for all generations
Family stories and photographs are captured moments in time. They are your heritage and a window on your life. Having a book written about your family is a unique way of preserving these memories for all generations.
It’s easy to get started, call me to discuss your particular requirements. I will work with you in a systematic way to ensure that an accurate account of your family is published. Generally I like to meet with you, discuss the structure of the book and record your immediate family knowledge. I then set about significant research on your genealogy. A second meeting with you then takes place where I collect the images, documents and photos that you would like in the book and to begin building the individual family stories. Within a short time, you will be the proud owner of a personal history of your family.
