These keepsake ‘Family Tree Books’ are A5 sized (approx. 15cm x 21cm); full colour throughout and printed on 120gsm quality paper. The books are wire spiral bound with stiff 300gsm covers (front and back) with additional protective covers that are frosted plastic & 250 micron ... plus all books come in a handmade presentation box.

My ancestral keepsake books would make truly unique gifts for friends or loved ones and would be treasured for years to come. They would make ideal ‘once in a lifetime’ gifts for special occasions, such as weddings, anniversaries and special birthdays.

However - if you do intend to purchase one of these books as a special gift to someone ... please make sure that you inform us of the up & coming event ... as we may be able to add a special commemorative title page (if required by the client) to acknowledge the special occasion & date ... but please make sure that you place your order well in advance; giving a minimum of sixteen weeks notice - so the family can be researched fully.

Each ‘Family Tree’ book will include ancestral charts showing multiple generations and on opposing pages you will find census information related to each of the names given on the corresponding ancestral chart ... and to make the generations easier to follow, the names are compiled into flow charts and each generation is colour-coded.

Inside each book, you will also find the ‘Family Coat of Arms (own drawn interpretation) and a small selection of photographs where available ... and details will be included regarding any local history concerning the relevant family, plus details of other family names, where a link can be found.

The starting cost is £200 to research a basic four or five chart family tree, or £400 to research an eight or nine chart family tree. Where the client requests that their family tree is researched as far as possible and where research spirals into the unknown, the cost will increase by an extra £25 for each additional chart researched. Each family chart can either be accompanied with the ‘Family Coats of Arms’ or a selection of family photos, this would be discussed with the client first.

If during the research, any civil registration certificates need to be purchased, they will cost an additional £10 each ... but will only be purchased with prior agreement of the client.

Besides the research, there will be the additional charge for the printing. The ‘Family Tree’ books will cost £15 for the four or five chart books ... or £25 for the eight or nine chart books. There will be an additional charge of £3 for each chart thereafter.

What information is required from the client? Starter information would be needed, so I would expect the client to provide information regarding recent family generations ... enough history to get the family lineage back to at least 1901 ... so you’d be expected to provide details regarding Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Grandparents & all of their siblings (if known). Having said that, I can research people & locate information after 1901 if required ...
