Explore planned genealogy workbooks, family interviews, ancestor research logs, and family-story preservation resources.
Family history, one story at a time
We’re developing practical, printable workbooks to help families record stories, organize research, and preserve sources. These resources are in development; no paid genealogy workbook or checkout is available yet.
Family History Starter Pack — in development
A planned free four-page introduction with a research question, simple family chart, interview prompts and a research log. Downloads will appear here only after review and accessibility testing.
Genealogy & Family Stories Workbook — in development
A guided workbook covering ancestor profiles, family relationships, dates and places, research plans, citations, conflicting evidence, family photographs, oral histories and next steps.
CONTENTS PREVIEW · IN DEVELOPMENT
One question. A trail you can follow.
The guided workbook is being developed around a 32-part sequence. The aim is not to fill every space in a family tree, but to connect a question, the evidence behind it and the story you can support.
Ask & organize
Set a research boundary, identify people without merging them, record relationships and build an event timeline.
Trace & compare
Keep a source register, log unsuccessful searches, compare conflicting details and leave unresolved questions visible.
Tell & preserve
Prepare optional interviews, inventory photographs, draft a supported account and leave a clear handoff for the next researcher.
Related resources under development include oral-history prompt cards, a photo and document log, reunion planning sheets and a family-history workshop kit. Their formats and any shared contents will be stated separately.
The 32 parts describe the manuscript structure, not a final page count. Final worksheets, pricing and release date are still being prepared; orders are not open.
Privacy and permissions
Begin with what you know, distinguish evidence from assumptions, and obtain permission before recording or sharing information about living people. Do not submit private family records to public feedback forms.
Other resources
See our Family Emergency & Legacy Binder for separate household continuity planning, and Workshops & Learning for future educational sessions.
