Record Nº 005 · from £950
Heirloom Family History Books
Research that lives in a folder gets forgotten. I write your family’s story as a proper narrative — and print it as a hardback book your grandchildren’s grandchildren will hold.
What I’ll research
- Existing research reviewed, verified and filled where thin
- The records woven into a readable narrative, not a data dump
- Photographs restored, captioned and placed in the story
- Historical context: what their town, work and times were like
What you receive
- A professionally written narrative — typically 80–250 pages
- Hardback binding with foiled title; softback copies available
- Family tree charts and a full source appendix
- The print files, so more copies can always be made
Questions families ask
What does a book cost?
From £950 for a single-line narrative based on existing research, to £2,500+ where new research, many photographs or multiple lines are involved. Every book is quoted exactly after a free call — no surprises.
How long does it take?
Three to six months, depending on research needed. For a fixed family occasion — a 90th birthday, an anniversary — tell me the date and I’ll tell you honestly whether it’s achievable.
I’ve done the research myself. Will you just write it up?
Happily — that’s many of my favourite projects. I verify as I write (gently; surprises are handled with tact) and your decades of work become something the family will actually read.
