These days it is possible to discover a wealth of information about our families. While many genealogists are content to produce family trees, your ancestors only really come to life when their stories are written down. A narrative family history provides a compelling story to share with family and friends, and ensures that your valuable work will be preserved for future generations. At Writing the Past we apply our editorial and creative design skills to produce engaging family histories, which we call Family Storybooks. These draw on our years of experience writing and editing high-quality books and magazines for publication, as well as our professional experience in family and local history.
