For Mums with a penchant for family history research, we’ve got you covered. Check out these great gift ideas that can be purchased online before Sunday.
1. For a meaningful adventure your Mum will never forget, book a Family History Holiday for a future date and add to your own treasure trove of family stories that will be passed down for generations to come. We do the hard work for you by connecting you with genealogy societies, local history museums and even locals who may be aware of your unique family history.
2. How about an ancestry DNA kit? Thi popular gift for genealogy enthusiasts will help Mum discover more about her ethnicity and connect with distant relatives.
3. Create a custom family tree poster for your mom using an online service. You can include photos, names, and birth dates of family members to produce a sentimental and truly unique gift.
4. Gift Mum a genealogy software program to assist with her research, keep track of sources and create charts and reports. Popular options include Legacy Family Tree and RootsMagic.
