Family History Book Publishing

Remember your family's get togethers … the aroma of grandma's home cooking filling the air, colorful relatives, old family stories and traditions? 

Will history remember? 

In earlier times, families lived very near to one another - they worked, laughed, and cried together. They had plenty of time in each other's company with which to share stories of how grandparents, great-grandparents and all those who came before worked to make life better and safer for them. Stories of your ancestors' pioneer persistence, military muster, and flight from fear and poverty in the old country deserve to be known and cherished by all. You are intimately connected to these peoples' lives. Who were your ancestors? What was their heritage? Do you share their strengths, their passion or their physical traits? 

There is a way to honor and learn more about those who came before you - to find, preserve and publish your family history for generations to come ... Put the ProGenealogists group to work researching and publishing your family history!

We would be happy to create a lasting memorial about your family; one that can be shared by descendants, relatives, friends and even associates, as desired. As a full-service genealogical research, writing, and publication company, ProGenealogists, Inc. is in a unique position to assist you, as needed, with every step in the process from conception through the stages of research, writing, editing, layout, production, and even distribution.

Just as every person and family is unique, so is every family history book. ProGenealogists will work closely with you to determine just what you want to include in your book. Some families have already assembled significant biographical and genealogical information about an individual or about several family members. These individuals might simply want professional assistance in weaving a narrative that assembles the various pieces into a meaningful finished product. Others have just a vague idea of wanting a permanent record, but need ideas, suggestions and even examples to help determine the final nature of the product. Most families are somewhere between these two points; they have a pretty good idea of what they want, but don’t know how to accomplish it.

Our trained associates will work with you and your budget to create the perfect publication for your family. Whether it be a biographical memoir, a genealogical account of your ancestors with brief biographical sketches, a genealogy of your  immigrant ancestor’s descendants, or even an historical novel with your life as the primary plot line, we are here to develop your family’s book.

We are able to combine family history research, family group sheets and pedigree charts, family stories, and copies of original records and photographs into a book complete with title page, table of contents, footnotes, and an every name index.  Your book can be printed and then soft or hard bound. There are many options available.

More Details

Regardless of the nature of the final product, the family will want to plan on genealogical, biographical, and some historical research. This information lends completeness to any family history, and helps us place the family, and its members, in the proper historical and social settings.

You can submit any of your previously researched genealogical data in GEDCOM, handwritten or typed format. We can work with most usual research media. The prospect of helping a family to discover, share, and preserve their history or the history of an ancestor or branch of the family is our highest priority, and our most enjoyable task. In order to help you further in making decisions appropriate to your family’s needs, one of our associates would like to visit briefly with you by phone at no cost or obligation to you. This would allow us to better determine if and how our services can fit your family’s needs.

If you are interested in any part of this service, please request an evaluation and make sure to leave your telephone number and best time to contact you. This is the type of service that will be customized to your needs.
