After a very busy year, it has been particularly rewarding to have received such positive feedback from customers. An obvious favourite is the new option this year to have a full family history in hardback format.

On deciding to research his family tree, Gary Murphy looked at a variety of genealogists online to see who felt would be most compatible to what he required. The internet gave him a number of options and in several cases,…

It seems absurd that only now, in the year 2021, mothers of brides and grooms in England and Wales will be finally added to marriage certificates for the first time in history. Beforehand, only the names of the fathers of…

It is perhaps ironic that the last thing a client thinks of when asking me to research their family history is the form in which they want to receive it when complete.

Customarily, this can be the simple research data or in a chart or a full report – I have always offered all three but recently, most of my clients have opted for the full report in book form.

To give you an example of how this book looks, I have printed my own to share my family history. It features all the data gathered during the research process to tell the family story in a simple but informative way.

If you choose this option yourself, you’ll find extracts from key documents are included and referenced throughout. Many of my clients have supplied family photos for inclusion, too.

The book contains a full index for each family line showing the lineage clearly and notes in the appendices covering vital sources used including Parish records, Civil Registration and the 1939 Register.

This is the hardback version but it is also available in paperback or even as a booklet. All versions are on A4 paper in colour and are the best way of sharing your family history with others.

So if you’ve been thinking about enquiring about my services at Family Tree Genie, it’s worth thinking about how you’d like your ancestry to be presented once I unlock your family’s past.

What can you learn about yourself through a DNA test? Too much, probably. My latest blog post: http://www.familytreegenie.co.uk/genie-news/what-can-you-learn-about-yourself-through-a-dna-test/

A little insight into my own family history, focusing on my father, John Millward

I've not shared much about my own family history on Family Tree Genie. So I thought I'd offer a little insight now and tell you more about my beloved father,

It's always amazing to hear from people, looking to research their family trees. I'm currently working with people all over the UK and as far away as Australia and Kuwait!
