Family History Record Book

Looking for a way to document your family history in one beautifully arranged workbook? I designed my first five generation record book a few years ago, to help amateur genealogists, and to meet my own needs a a professional genealogist. This book also makes an excellent heirloom to pass on to your family, as I plan to do with mine!

This is the improved and extended edition of my original best-selling 5 generation book. It has space to record EIGHT GENERATIONS, that's a whopping 254 direct ancestors, with a FULL PAGE devoted to every person.

That's my own painting on the front cover!

What this book is...

• An eight generation workbook to fill in – back to your 5 x great grandparents.
• A clear, concise, and portable record of your family history research progress.
• Valuable for all family historians, from beginner to advanced.
• Useful to highlight gaps and shape your priorities as you undertake further research.

This book is NOT...

• A family history tutorial or starter pack.
• A replacement for genealogy software, websites, or detailed sheets and templates.

So what's inside?

• An ahnentafel index, to summarise your current knowledge and act as a table of contents.
• A full page per person, to record yourself (or your subject) and 254 direct ancestors.
• Double page spreads arranged in logical family groups.
• Headings to help you to navigate quickly and easily to the parents and child of an individual.
• Space to add key UK information and additional notes, such as military history.
• Checkboxes to mark off the key UK documents used to support your findings.

The paperback version

The paperback version is available on Amazon. The paperback edition is A4. It is printed on 90 gsm paper, and although this isn't the best paper quality, it might suit you if you prefer a lighter weight, more portable book. Unfortunately, I cannot control the paper weight Amazon uses.

You can usually order a copy at your local bookshop, but some bookshops refuse to order from Amazon. I have no control over this, sorry!

How hardback version

The hardback version is also available on Amazon. Once again it is printed on 90 gsm paper. Amazon don't offer hardbacks in A4, so the book is slightly shorter than the A4 paperback, that's 210 x 279 mm. The content is slightly compressed to fit on the page.

Is the book available on Kindle?

Nope! Because this is a workbook, it is not available on Kindle. If you would like to see sample pages please drop me a line!

I hope you find this book useful

Happy hunting!
